Spring Maintenance Day & BBQ - April 7th

[maydaymike]

Count me as a maybe. I don't have any pressing maintenance myself,  but I'm happy to offer (bad) advise to anyone else in need.

I'll try and make it if possible.

Count me and Buzz in for the eating and pointing at stuff and probably some laughing.

Don't forget to post an address and a start time

Chitza and fencejumper... Not sure how I missed your replies here!

Correct me if I'm wrong but this is just hanging out and not any riding, right? As fun as it would be to take the Strom up rock ledges.... That's what the WR426 is for!! Which I may bring with me. It doesn't have a key... But heres the deal. If you can kick start it, you can ride it. Most people don't know how to work the manual decompression to get it started.

What is the timeframe? I'm free that day so its likely ill come. The Vee is in the shop getting tuned up, which leaves me with driving the car unless he finishes with it in time.

Speaking of the WR426... Anyone here decent with spokes? I know nothing about it. And it needs a little spoke work. I had one come off and flop around lol. This might be a decent time to learn some knowledge from someone who knows more than me.

@David DoubleEX  This is mostly just a hang around and eat some good food kind of event! We will be doing some wrenching if people need help figuring something out.

I don't think we have a truing stand but we can make one from a static tire balancer so bring the wheel with you!

I have a truing stand if y'all want to borrow it, let me know.

Unfortunately I am working that weekend so I can not make it.

Noon on April 7th at TWO-3-SEVEN Allen Ave, Homewood, AL 35209. Last house on the left with plenty of bike parking in the rear. We'll be there all afternoon so feel free to drop by when you can.

Fencejumper and I will provide the BBQ and a few sides. If you have a specialty you make please feel free to bring it!

We'll have a few chairs available but bringing your moto-camping chair is still probably a good idea. BYOB if want anything other than natty light.

As far as maintenance goes, plan is to keep it on the lighter side. I'm thinking things like fork seal replacements, oil changes, non-touring bike tire swaps and what have you.

Looking forward to seeing everyone Saturday!

I will bring my tire changing stand and spoons! Hope to have some new tires to spoon on for the YZ!

@IceCold4x4 will you bring the metal Tubliss tool?

Awesome. How can we get the truing stand from Springer?

I will bring the whole bike! I have a dirt bike carrier so its easy enough.

Looking forward to this.

It's in the xc90 text me that day and I'll bring it. Probably drag the kdx over and see if it can be fixed.
