SoCal Tech day! 8/7

Kevin2109 · August 3rd, 2011, 10:25 PM

So this upcoming sunday we are going to be having a tech day at KC's house. start early, work on bikes then maybe go on a group ride. If you need anything to your bike we can help. There will be a lot of knowledgeable people there to help with anything!

PM or Text me for details!

Cazper · August 3rd, 2011, 10:36 PM

I'm gonna have to text or call him to see if I can drop mine off for the valve job. Also, what I might need to provide for him other than oil/filter for the change... thoughts?

BTW, created our group!!!

You'll also need coolant since you have to flush the system out to get to the valves. Not necessary for a valve job, but might as well do a brake fluid flush since you've had the bike a couple of years now. Also up to you if you want to replace the gasket.

ducducgooseit · August 4th, 2011, 01:44 PM

Is it okay to just come and watch what people are doing?

Of course! The tech days are for people to learn, ask as many questions as you would like

I will have my bike completely in pieces so you can see the ins and outs!

Cazper · August 4th, 2011, 10:22 PM

This might end up being to short of notice for me to take care of things... I got so much going on right now... I may not be able to make this.

what are the times?

Kevin2109 · August 5th, 2011, 10:45 AM

I'm getting there at 8am. So he just texted me and said his GF is bitching about people coming over and may need to cancel.

He said he will let me know by the end of the night

Anyone want to host?

Kevin2109 · August 5th, 2011, 02:41 PM

Tech day is postponed unless someone can host this weekend!! I hope someone can! I cant :/ no place to work or tools

!!

Kevin2109 · August 5th, 2011, 03:28 PM

New place! Ken said he would be able to host this weekend

He lives in indio

Who is still in?

Last idea! Kevin Phr3ek can host, he has basic tools to do most jobs, and live closer. Its in the IE somewhere

phr3ek · August 5th, 2011, 03:50 PM

i live in 92377

15/215 freeway

i have a very basic metric/standard tool set (ratchets and wrenches)
metric hex keys
axle tool
chain breaker/riveter
front/rear stands
oil change stuff

i can pretty much host for basic maintenance

Havok · August 5th, 2011, 05:00 PM

Either works for us. Regardless Sharon and I will come, if it's at kens we may have to take the support truck as the winds if they get crazy may freak Sharon out some. She has progressed a ton in the month and a half she has been riding but when Cindy and I came through that one day it was pretty crazy.

Ken how bad have the winds been lately? How bad do you think they will be?

Like I said we will he there one way or another and I shall bring The Dude!

ManyCavies · August 5th, 2011, 05:22 PM

The winds aren't bad this weekend, 5 to 10, but the temps are going to be around 108 Sunday. 4% humidity.

Ahh then I'll make sure and have shorts! It will be great to see you and Ken again and can't wait for Sharon to meet you guys.

Kevin2109 · August 5th, 2011, 06:27 PM

So Kens house it is!!

Does anyone have a #70 drill bit? I need one before sunday

phr3ek · August 5th, 2011, 08:31 PM

Kevin2109 · August 5th, 2011, 08:34 PM

im down, but i have to check in with my finances to see if i can make it out

chaparral is off the 215 and 10 freeway

everyone will be passing by those freeways to get to indio

Kevin2109 · August 5th, 2011, 09:21 PM

ok let me know. we can just meet there

CZroe · August 5th, 2011, 09:35 PM

I have work in 92101 at 4PM but I may be able to go in late (someone owes me ~3 hours). I need a valve job BADLY. It may be too late. I have jug of premixed coolant.

I need help with a rear rotor install too. I think I'm going to have trouble with one bolt even though the service guys were able to get it off when I switched to blue rims.

Do I need my exhaust on for a valve job? I was planning to paint it and may leave it at home.

I am moving and need to ride cross-country soon so I will also be getting rid of some tools. If anyone wants a bead breaker, a few tire irons, impact screwdriver, mini-torch, or a front and rear stand, I'll take what I can get for them. I may not be quite done with the stands though. I also have extra Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 and K&N oil filters with o-rings for anyone who needs it.

I also have SV650 clip-ons, an undertail, a hugger, integrated tail light, etc which I'd love to install. The old guide on Kawiforums has no pics anymore.

My new grips are already deteriorating but I was hoping to reuse them. Does Ken have an air-compressor? I hear that there is some way to use one for easily removing them.

ManyCavies · August 5th, 2011, 10:11 PM

Chaparral is having a huge sale tomorrow too. 9 to 3 if anyone is interested. not sure who gets the texts.

phr3ek · August 5th, 2011, 10:19 PM

i got the text, though from their past sales, they cater mostly to dirt bike riders

Kevin2109 · August 5th, 2011, 10:40 PM

I need a valve job too, but i think its a long process

KJohnson21 · August 5th, 2011, 10:48 PM

So, who's planning on (or thinking about) coming out to Indio on Sunday? Anybody that wasn't here last time?

phr3ek · August 5th, 2011, 11:33 PM

im in

valve jobs take awhile
it took 2 days for adrian's bike
i doubt we'll be able to get a valve job done in one day, and on 2 bikes on top of that
unless it's that easy for KC to do

Cazper · August 6th, 2011, 12:27 AM

Turns out this is a bad weekend for me... I'm on duty right now so tomorrow I'm going to be tired and have to get things ready because on Sun I might have to go into work for unit recall. Monday I'm going to the field for a week and the following week I'll be in Hawthorne, NV on business.... I hate missing events
