[QUOTE="RM_guy, post: 1408229, member: 20652"] I just want to share this... I know I’m not the only one that has done things like this but I was working on my bike yesterday and while I had the suspension off for service and re-valve, I figured it was a good time to pull the reed block off to check the reeds. It had been a couple of years and while I usually get long life out of the V-force reeds, I wanted to be on the safe side. The reeds checked out fine so I put it all back together and reinstall the carb. I made note that the screws that held the intake boot on were a bit ling and I could save a few ounces if I swapped out for some shorter ones. Then I went on put on a new front tire and tube. I was putting air in it when I saw a direction arrow on the tire. Crap, I really don’t want to change it but a quick check proves that I am the master mechanic and it’s on the correct way. I pat my self on the back and reach for the wrench to tighten the rim lock when I see a reed block sitting on the bench. I thought, that’s odd. Why did I get the old stock reed block out of the cabinet and set it on the bench? Sooo, I look a bit closer and realize it’s the V-force block and I forgot to reinstall it. I guess that explains why the screws looked too long. So much for a weight savings opportunity. I skip the chocolate chip cookies for a week or so for the same affect. Now, it’s not the first, nor will it be the last time I pull a stunt like this but as long as I catch it before it hurts, I’m happy :) [/QUOTE]
