My name is Marty, joining a little late in the season but better late then never. looking forward to a quick and productive winter as i am in the process of tearing the bike apart for some powdercoating and maybe new paint on the plastics. looking forward to meeting up for some fun rides next season!

[06gixgirl]

[Chippertheripper]

And enjoy the show Marty.

Hey, welcome from just down the street in Quincy. If you need any help on the bike, let me know!

[butcher bergs]

Welcome, Marty.

You are just in time for Silly Season on the forum. Started a bit early this year, what with that October snow squall and all but what can ya do?

Enjoy!

[martyk]

I ride a 2003 kawi 636 with some basics, integrated tail light, yoshi rs-3 slip on cut in half, adjustable clutch and hand brake, flush mounts
On deck for the winter:
07 swingarm, 05 rims, nissin front calipers, pinebox exhaust, powder coat frame black
Help is always welcome! I am pretty mechanically savvy but an extra hand is always useful.
Looking forward to meeting people and having a good time!

What are you doing with your 03 rims and swingarm?

[martyk]

wellll...what would you like me to do with them??

[Kenn157]

Welcome MartyK!

[G21forme]

Sell them cheap

[martyk]

i knew that was coming haha. i was planning on selling them not sure on price yet, i still have to get them off the bike. i will probably be keeping the rotors as i will be needing them with the new rim, just keep bugging me thru email: martinkinsman@yahoo.com and maybe we will be able to make something work,, unless you had anything to trade

[ZX11D]

welcome

[Billy]

Marty go back to stripping your threads! Mechanically savy my ass!!!

[G21forme]

Wanted the rotors as well for quick swaps at the track but let me know anyway. Fyi I would spend the money on galfer pads and lines for the front that's what I did and I stoppie into t3 all day.

[martyk]

thanks for piping in billy, thought you ernt on here anymore haha
i dont have the money now for the galfer and lines, already got a good deal on nissin calipers so was just going to use the stock rotors for now but if i get my hands on 05+ then ill let the rotors go

[martyk]

and only thing i stripped was the oil drain plug....no big deal

[G21forme]

Gotcha, I have a set of slightly used hh pads if you are interested.

[martyk]

might be, new rims will be in by end of week. Just need to get a front and rear motorcycle stand and i will be getting the the 03 rims off
any suggestions on the lower cost side? found a few on fleabay for just under 100 a pair shipped

[Billy]

I dont but from time to time i'll hop on really quick to see whats going on. If there's a thread worth contributing to I will. When I saw your screen name and that you were from Norwood I knew it was you so I had to crack some jokes!

You'll def meet some cool peeps in your area and go on some fun rides in the spring/summer/fall. You came on board towards the end of the riding season (for most people) so there might not be a whole lot of activity going on here for group rides. Come spring this place should be lighting up with rides.

I'm actually out riding still, went on a Vanilla Bean run this past Sunday with some beemer riding club (not really my crowd but wanted to ride). If you didn't have a completely opposite schedule then me I'd ride with you since i'm still close to Norwood.

I have a rear stand for cheap and I could throw in the pads for a deal.pm me if you need help with anything I have woodcraft stands and have been wrenching on my 636 for years.

i have a completley opposite schedule then anyone! worst riding schedule everrrr, weekend overnights blows, but the shift differential is good at least, and keeps me outta the bars...except for weekdays
