Ya know... even though that Dave guy is a carrot snapper he's still a good bud. So I'll forgive the carrot offenses and he can get in some lift time.
He shipped me a box of his oils, and other various mods he wanted to get install. He put in some more carrots even after I told him my eye sight was fine...
We got the K9 on the lift ready for Sunday's all day wrenchin
So from the continuation from Sat night we got his K&N cleaned and then re-oiled.
Then we pulled the plugs to drain the oil from the oil bag and primary..,
Pulled the inspection cover on the primary... checked the chain and it was good (by feel only thru that stupid small hole). But wanted to double check and make sure sense he has never saw the inside of his primary. Plus check that DREADED tranny input nut.
We decide to check the tranny nut, just as I did last weekend on T-Mack's mstiff. Loosen the clutch freeplay, loosen the clutch rod adjustment, pull the diaphram spring.. So I get my 30mm for the nut... the big bar... have dave grab the rear brake... I put the wrench on it... lay my hand on it and it spins... HAND FUCKIN TIGHT!! WTF!!! Another bad dog tranny nut!!
Clean the threads, blow them dry and to remove any debris... red loctite the crap out of the nut... get the torque wrench...grab the rear brake dave... HEEVE N HOE... 100 ft lbs BITCH
Put it back together, and get ready for some more..
Dave adds the motor oil and primary oil
Hook up the scavenger and run out a quart of garbage oil from the oil lines and case
Clean up the K&P filter...
BAM... that service is D.O.N.E.
Onwards and upwards...
We do my newest mod, which is to double nut the exhaust flange bolts for added security that you won't loose one
Then I remember that I heard a noise coming from Dave's bike yesterday. It sounded like a loose and rattling exhaust baffle... so I look up... and looksy at what I see
Broken baffle, the only thing holding it in, was what was left of the bolt, and the only thing holding the bolt in was the heat shield keeping it from backing out...
Not a bad call by me from just a sound... so we got some new hardware from my parts bin... and new bolt, some washers and a nylon lock nut
BAM
Put the heat shield back on..
