Finished putting my bike back together tonite after my first attempt EVER at putting in a new top end and a full KIPS cleaning.
Been trying to get it done so I can go to the Poker Run with 'Carvr later this morning...... actually sign ups start in 6 hours 15 mins. LOL ( I've had 8 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours! ) LOL;)
I got off work Saturday morning at 3am, got up at 8am, put new piston in bike. Man, that second clip had me cussing BIG TIME! Glad 'Carvr told me to put the piston in the head first, and then attach the wrist pin....
Went to work at noon, got home at 11pm finished putting bike back together.... got it all put back together....... so I thought.
While replacing coolant I noticed ONE important item on my workbench, My reed cage!! Good thing I noticed it! So about midnite I gave it my first kick.
WoW, takes a lil more kick than it used to! She fired up on the third kick! I'm sure my neighbors loved it ;)
So hopefully she'll run ok tomorrow, I have not had a chance to ride 'er. Figured I was pushing my luck as it was! (with my neighbors)
Hopefully I won't end up like Guts! :eek:
BTW, I repacked my S/A with Silent Sport, WoW is it ever quiet!
