[QUOTE="CaptainObvious, post: 738901, member: 17060"] I'm a good mechanic. I'm usually very happy with my work. But today I had a bad case of the stupids or something. I woke up early to get the final touches of reassembly done on my KX. The only thing left to do after a complete winter disassembly were mounting new tires and changing the bearings in the Uni-Trac link. Everything else is on the bike. So I figure I'll do the tires first because they're easy. Old tires off, clean the rim, check for any maintainence issues (found a broken spoke in the rear wheel so I replaced it), new tires mounted. I fill up the front tire with air...huge air leak...crap. Second tire, I filled it with air and started bouncing it to set the bead...what's that noise...AIR!!! Of course I didn't have spare tubes (I hate patches) so off to the store. $20 dollars later I'm back in the basement changing tubes. Get them done, fill the front with air...ppssssssttttttt. What the.... Luckily the rear held its air just fine. I removed the front tire to see if there was anything that might cause a puncture...nothing. Nothing but poor workmanship. Well I'm off to RRP to get a new, new front tube. Hopefully I'll get the idiots discount. Think I'll install this new tube tomorrow. The Uni-Trac bearings? No way am I going to do those today. Sunday will be a much better day! [/QUOTE]
