Had Sgt's Honda Shadow back up on the lift. Needed the anti-freeze changed out, clutch adjusted, and new motor oil. Nothing too bad.
Strip it down...
Pull the side cover to full clutch adjustment
Drained the anti-freeze, flushed it all out with distilled water (twice), letting it cool down each time before refilling. Then put in Engine Ice over regular green. Should be a nice improvement. Also, some new Amsoil and a new oil filter.
The reason why we had to pull the tank is to get to the damn rad cap!!
(normally a plastic cover over it that was removed in this pic)
Then we found his "rattle" was really his baffle was broken on both mount! But he called V&H and after I sent them the pics they warrentied it and sending replacement.
Then while that was on there for a day or so while he picked up his fluids and such... had a buddy come over to do a last min oil change and fix his tranny nut coming loose.
The goods
Got to pull the chin spoiler to get at the oil filter and set my special oil filter drain pan in there. Plus he whacked something with it and we needed to "tweak" the bracket back into place.
Pulled the outer primary. Yep... that loose tranny nut and therefore the walking clutch basket... yeah... it might make some noise when it does this shit!!!!
From the primary chain going by
From the diaphram pressure plate bolts
My boy Big House toppin off his primary oil. But you can see what happens when people begin to think you flip a few wrenches... bikes start multipling
