Bike Maintenance - South Shore

[Jim]

Looks like it's going to be nice outside on Wednesday. I'll be in my driveway working on my bike from 6 till it gets dark out.

I've had a few S. Shore guys PM me asking questions.

GhostRyde, looks like you're is all set with your plate light now. but if you want to use some heat shrink or zip ties to clean up the wiring, let me know.

OmahaSteaks, I think you needed to use my stands for an oil change, or something else.

Few others asked about cleaning their chain too, but forget who it was.

I've got all the tools you'll need as well as electrical stuff. My front stand will lift at least the GSXRs in the triple. My rear stand will lift spooled and non-spooled bikes (except single-side swingarms).

So PM me if you want my # or directions & I'll be glad to give you a hand.

*edit* if you're cleaning & lubing your chain, bring the cans with you. I have a grunge brush, but running low on chain wax.

yea my plate is all set now thanks. i could use a chain cleaning though. i have the brush and the wax but no kerosene/gasoline/whatever else you use to clean it. unfortunately im working 1-10 wednesday. but next time you have a tuneup party at your house let me know

[Jim]

Ben, I'll probably work on it again next weekend when my new TRE unit arrives.

and i have some home depot grease remover that i used once. you're welcome to use that, but i use Chain Cleaner that i bought for my bike

Wow Jim, this is all mighty neighborly of you.

Wow Jim, this is all mighty neighborly of you.

thanks matty. with all the new members on here asking the same questions, NESR is beginning to get like gixxer.com and the other known forums where the veterans on here are ganging up and bashing the new guys for stupid questions.

just trying to help out, because i remember when I signed up & asked some questions. it felt great to hear how many people were willing to help me out & answer anything I asked without a ton of BS comments. I personally havent been getting that feeling anymore lately when the new people ask for help.

Can you help me degree my camshafts in on my TLR?

[Jim]

Can you help me degree my camshafts in on my TLR?

only if you can put a fuel pump from an 1989 Dodge Caravan 4cyl turbo on my GSX-R

[Jim]

well weather says 80 and sunny all day. any takers?

[dcen]

i'll prob be there. i could use an oil change. might drop by next week too depending when my cage gets here =p stabilizers are next!

[Jim]

dan i have an oil pan and bucket for the old oil, as well as the tools. just bring some oil.

I do have some left over Respol 10w-40 4T regular oil from last seasons change. i switched to semi-snythetic, so i have no use for it.

[XVTer]

Dang, I'd go but I'm driving the bike up to VT this afternoon to get my pickup. I'm just about due for an oil change, too. O well, it'll give me something to do on Saturday

[The Snowman]

wow, talk about building up your post count.

[Jim]

well you probably have the tools and have done it yourself before. i'm just trying to help out some of the new guys nearby that might not know how to do simple maintenance

[Jim]

wow, talk about building up your post count.

[Pleasegivesoap]

I just stumbled on this post a minute ago - is this still going on? I'm relatively new to nesr, don't know most of you, but would love to come by and meet everyone/clean my chain.

Where is this happening exactly, DBConz (name?)'s house? don't know where that is...I'll PM you for directions, I'm in Upton, MA, so idk if you're far far away or not...
