The boss (mike the great…) called me yesterday and said the dealership called and said that the bike is done, ready to go After almost three month it’s not a moment too soon for me I believe a mazel tov is in order I do have two quick questions; In order to replace the faulty main seal the dealer split the main cases On the way they check the insides for any potential culprits (they found nothing) So on the next few rides is there anything that I should pay close attention to? Any bolts that will require tightening check within certain miles? --> --> <--With you’re help, of Course Thanks
Congrats on getting your bike back!! I would do a real good check of any bolt that was turned to perform the work before doing any serious riding, and check again after you put some good miles on it. You probably would be safe to do a oil/filter change, and inspect the bag filters for gasket material too(during my break in, there was a bunch of that stuff in the one under the shift lever - nothing in the other one). And let us know what you think of the mirrors after swapping them around! LD
Yay!! Congrats on getting your bike back, MW. I haven't ridden my 610 since the last week of June and I miss it terribly. Enjoy your ride! WoodsChick
Thank you LD, I will let you know about the mirrors ones I’ll get to it You see, the bike is still 200+ miles away from me. I need to grab the wife and go n’get it. Part of the reason I asked is, depending on that Florida tropi-can if It’s not going to rain too much I would like to ride it back home with the wife trailing with the truck behind. Most of the way (75%) back home is two lane hwy/75Mph speed limit So I wanted to know if I’ll need to bring my tool box and give them bolts a bit of a squeeze at the in-laws before we go back home Thanks for the answer
Hey there miss broken how are you hilling? Hope you’re getting better fast I’m waiting patiently to hear about you’re experience with the knobby 17’s Thank you and get well soon!
I'm healing well, thanks, but the glacial pace is killing me I got stuff I want to do...like, now! I'm leaving for my annual 2-week dirtriding trip to Idaho this Friday, but I won't see any dirtriding. I will, however, see a lot of rivers and hot springs I, too, am seriously looking forward to the 17" knobby experiment. Hell, I'm just looking forward to swinging a leg over the Husky again...I don't care if my Pirelli Diablos, MT60's or knobbies are on it! Have fun on your return trip and be careful in the rain WoodsChick
"Houston, Tranquility Base here. The Eagle has landed."… I have possession, I repeat, I have possession!!! Copy that… And now lets kick start this adventure… Oops, been away for to long, I’ve meant lets thumb it…
The LOW DOWN on the mirrors It’s embarrassing but… Sometimes I’m oblivious to some things even if they are right in front of my face…… My mirrors ware put backwards and gave my a nice view of the sky but not much of the side I did notice that my side view is a bit limited but it took a comment from the Low Down for me to connect the dots… Here it is pre LD; Unscrew nut, unscrew stem, switch left to right, right to left screw stem and nut back up… After LD; Much better, thanks LD--> that should hold me till I switch to the Speedzilla blinker mirrors Now if I can only figure out what else is backwards on my bike… It might be smart on my part to just post pictures of it and let you guys dissect it? Yea i know, the emission crap needs to go...
