Dirt Fun Dirt bikes are so much fun. I would already have one if not for 2 things; money and a way to get it where needed. Despite that as soon as my buddy gets his KTM 300, he is selling me his XR250. When I go out my other buddy with his pick-up will pick me up. It limits riding to groups...

New Shoe Last night I changed out the front tire. I love changing 21" 90/90 tires! So easy! New Continental TKC 80. On with the new, off with the old.

Congratulations Great bike and shot. It had my vote.

I certainly am. I have a Continental TKC-80 sitting on my bench that is going on tonight.

The Quest Continues Another night and a couple of easy jobs. I didn't have a new copper crush washer for the bleed screw on the waterpump so I anealed the old one so I could reuse it. heat it red hot, let cool and re-use. I finished adding the fluids, and "burped" the coolant system to get...

Fussy If you do any of your own maintenance, especially dirt or dual sport, or restoration you might find this link interesting. Motorcycle Terminals, Connectors, and Wiring Accessories Just go to the home page. I had a few damaged connectors on my machine after years of trying to part dirty...

She's a beauty! I always liked those NightHawk S machines (750's up here). They still look sexy even by today's standards.

Well, I try. I guess I better use soft focus when I post pictures of my front wheel with the new tire on it. The rims are a bit beat up from off road play. One of these years I'll probably strip it down to the frame and really do a restore, paint and all. I'll wait until she hits 200,000 K. By...

Little By Little Checked the Valves tonight; rear cylinder all in spec!! Front Cylinder only one intake (right) need to go down one size shim. All in spec for rear cylinder. Front had to come apart to change the right intake. Front Cylinder head parts laid out carefully...

I took the time to click on "vote".

And I've got 9, but neither of us have to worry. I think the threshold is 40, before you would need to get a MUCH bigger helmet. The mechanic at work has 78!! Last night I refreshed my heat-shields on the tanks. Just the valves and reassembly and fluids to go now. I'll start the valve check...

Despite a remarkably mild winter in these parts, time (a good subtitute for patience) to wrench is not something I'm lacking. My garage is heated by a 1.6 liter supercharged radiant heater (When I get home from work with the Mini ;) ) which takes about 15 minutes to get it to room temperature...

Thanks Billy, just trying to keep the old girl up to your standards. You set the bar high. I was happy to see no sign of corrosion on any of my electrics. The Rectifier plug was a horrid mess with all the dirt mixed into the dielectric grease, but i took it apart, cleaned it with kerosene, then...

Annual Service Time Last Weekend I started on the annual service. It starts with the tear-down and cleaning. Electrics disassembled, cleaned, greased (dielectric) and reassembled. A few things re-routed for efficiency. Battery removed, cleaned, connections cleaned , greased and...

Well Dustin, that is Alberta sand. The stuff after we pull all the oil out of it. With all that hot dirty stuff removed, it gets cold and slippery. ;)

Cabin Fever "Time to break away from my condition Rejoin the human race, see what I'm missing Try to face the day, my private passion Is eating me away" From Split Enz; Log Cabin Fever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ePflat0qRIk Yesterday, January 23rd my buddy Warren & I took his XR 400...

This is what I use now. TecMate – OptiMATE 4 Dual Program I had an older Optmate unit and sold it with My FZ. They both worked flawlessly and come with a Eye Ring lead and an "Aligator clip" lead.

The designers grew up watching transformers and are now old enough to work. It could have been worse, they could have been fans of Teletubbies or My Little Pony..............ack.

Is it just me or does the MT-10 bring this to mind?

The original file has been lost so I can't help you, sorry. Edit: OK, maybe not. I did some digging and found the original file. At 10.7 MB it should be big enough for you. I sent it to Eric. And If it matters, You have my permission to use the picture on the calendar. It was taken west of...
