It's Bike Related!
 
I know to most of you this is no big deal but to me it's huge! I finally got the book on my duc so this evening I went out to the shop and changed all the fluids by myself!!! :rockwoot: I am very proud! I have never messed with anything mechanical so for me this is a very big step! Jeeps checked my work and said it was A OK so I'm proud! I did see that the rubber thingies on the carb were bad but I now know that it's called diaphragms :lol: That's my next project!

Good job. It's so satisfying to do things yourself. And you know those bolts are tight and the right amt. of fluid is in there.

Good job.

Good job! Maybe I should call you from now on before I fuck with my bike!:lol:

Congrats on getting it done! Its starts with small project and then you just work your way onto new things.

Congrats on the first step! Isn't it fun?

Goood times! After a few times you'll know it's not too hard just a pain in the ass. I always start with a 12 pack of High Life. I crack the first one after I bleed the brakes and change the oil. At 3 I lube and adjust the chain and go over all the bolts. From 5-12 I wash, detail and dry...

Kudos for having the courage to 'do it yosef!' It really is amazing just how much of ones own maint. You can do with some patience and common sense, oh yeah the manual is important to!

Very cool !! I do most all of the stuff to our bikes. When we were heading to VIR last year I had the wife clean and lube both chains on our bikes just to get the "feel"...and to get to know the bikes a little better. :lol:

Of course she takes care of most of the inside of the house stuff so when she handed me the vacuum cleaner to get the "feel" I started cleaning the chains again on the bikes. :lol

Hmmm maybe I should try that :lol: "I'll work on the bikes babe and you clean the house." Somehow I think I'll get the same response you gave. :rofl:
