Today I looked at my bike ... realized it could use a good hosing - the fog has really dirtier the girl up ... and wished I was going to have time to ride this weekend - so she stays dirty and in the garage at least until Monday.

I pulled most of the front end. Then removed the nacelle. Disassembled the cluster, calibrated the speedo, as well as repairing the clock (Re-soldered pin 30, after continuity testing each pin of the clock chip.).

I did the same thing last night. But my oil seal was in bass ackwards, with a bad shaft to top it off. So I rebuilt it, new seals and shaft. The put it on with some anaerobic flange sealant (Great stuff, btw. Soluble in oil, hard as a rock when pressed in between a flange, cures anaerobically, so it stays soft if it squeezes out.).

Hey orforester - I see you bought a "looks like toot attenuators... las vegas buffets on a daily basis over time will cause toot erosion to your moto seat...

the installation of beaded toot attenuators will absorb and distribute the toots over more space reducing its negative effect on the moto seat..." Johnny Oct 2011

We really like ours, makes 500 to 600 miles a day an easy ride ...

I had a complete service on my K done at the shop here in Vegas, ready for a ride to Phoenix next week (if the weather cooperates), also tried out my Garmin 1300 mounted on my tankbag. Still trying to get a "setup" that I like... dam - it was cold !!

Good luck, IMHO beaded seat covers are totally worthless ! BTDT, read a REAL pain in the ass. (pun intended)

Personally, I've tried gel inserts, sheepskin only to return to stock.

One is better off springing the cash for a Russell or Sargent seat and be done with the deal.

WHY are you mounting the Garmin GPS on the tankbag ? Ram handlebar mount with a 1" arm is the ticket. ROCK solid, plus you can angle to defeat sun glare.

The ROHO system aka Airhawk looks interesting but pricey. Used for bedsore pressure management in the medical field so it may have some merits.

Dropped the tranny off of my RS, cleaned it, waxed it, lubed the splines with 50/50 Honda Moly 60/Wurth 3000 and then slipped it back on...

Don't know about the later motobricks, but the 1985 K100RS sports what is laughingly called a helmet lock. It's a POS in standard form, so I went to the local Ace Hardware store (great source of fasteners!) and had the nice lady there make a little loop of stainless cable. I then coated the end coupler with some JB Weld so as not to prick myself with the tiny cable strands.Now I can thread it through the helmet D rings and then hook the helmet lock on the motorcycle. It was a couple of dollars well spent.

Added a second Powerlet socket to my RS:

Had the alternate death flash from the ABS warning lights when I went out for a ride today. Couldn't find any faults so reset it and all seems fine again. Left a wire earthed to the rear metal bracket bolt that the seat sits on for future use.

Got started on my winter study of Splientology^tm.

Besides spline lube, I'm planning a GPI switch refurb (to try to get my neutral light working) while I'm in there.

frankenduck · « **Reply #114 on:** January 02, 2012, 09:03:25 PM »

While you're at it, it's a good idea to remove, clean and relube the clutch arm pivot rod.

Duck, did I understand you to say you waxed your transmission?! Why would you do that? :confused:

frankenduck · « **Reply #117 on:** January 07, 2012, 09:54:16 PM »

It's painted. Once I got the heavy crud off of it I went over it with cleaner wax. I detailed every part, nut bolt, etc... with either Armor All for plastic/rubber and cleaner wax for everything else before I put it back on after the spline lube.

I also removed the tail cowl and detailed/waxed the rear of the frame.

The fill plug for the final drive didn't clean up very well so I polished it with my Dremel.

I was gonna clean the inside of the battery too but I couldn't figure out how to get it open. :lol:

I'm visiting my dad and have PLENTY of spare time.

Besides, it's the best K bike on the planet so it deserves all of that love and attention.

What do you think that fur duster is for?

CRASH · « **Reply #119 on:** January 08, 2012, 10:49:39 PM »

Well, it is not what I DID ... but what I did so that I can DO more to it.

New tools are always fun.

What's the deal with the marking tape on the floor ?

Parking allotment ? LOL

CRASH · « **Reply #121 on:** January 08, 2012, 11:53:21 PM »

KANBAN squares during a previous project ... tape stuck better than I wanted ... need to scrape the rest up.

So....how many of you did it take to get that thing into and out of the Caravan and into the garage ?? :neener:

CRASH · « **Reply #123 on:** January 10, 2012, 01:06:44 AM »

Me and my son ... and it was on the trailer so I tilted it like I would to load/unload a bike and pushed the crate into the garage. Easy peasy. Honestly, it ain't that heavy.

Ahhh, second to last day at my folks' house before heading back to Berkeley. Might as well replace the wheel bearings with my new front wheel while the paint is stripped.
