Minor work last night. After some riding, it appears that my gutted PDF units on the forks are oil tight, so I put the plastic adjustment knobs back on and tapped in the non removable pins that hold them on.

Time to finally break down and start on the Miata cam timing belt replacement. It's about 7K overdue.
And while I am in there, I'll be changing the front seals (cams and crank), water pump, belt tensioners, and spark plugs.
Now I need to figure how to get that big bolt on the end of the crank to come loose.

You're a better man then me. I took a look at the procedure on cam belt replacement on our Honda Pilot (v6) and said........ nope. Plus its the wife's, and our only good car. In other words if I tried and screwed up it would be..... un good

Impact wrench - the biggest, ugliest one you can get in there. I've heard some good things of the latest breed of battery impact wrenches from Milwaukee and others. If you have an air compressor the conventional air impact gun is the first to try. Make sure you're using a proper impact socket.Dave

Oil change on the GK.
Which is not worth reporting, other than, this time, I got things organized enough to have everything gathered up, and laid out on floor near the bike, so that when I got down on the creeper, I got the oil drained and the filter replaced and all back together without having to get back up and back down ... ...

Bill, apologies if this has been discussed already but from what model is the rear brake pedal?
I have some exhaust clearance issues on a bike that might get solved with something like this.2@ \'78 GS1000Comment

Pulled the forks and rebuilt them on Suzie Q, and now rebuilding the breaks then we look for the hanging idle.

Started the process of putting the stock exhaust back on the ZX11. Good thing too because the coolant I drained looks like pond water. Now, just waiting for new gaskets to arrive.Current Bikes:

Greetings all - Doing the valve check on a '82 GS450L today.
Forgot about the joys of those old valve cover gaskets.....
So far the valves are tight, 16,000 miles and probably never checked, no real surprise.
Tight being the .03 would not fit - in fact, the .015 would not either - Removed one shim, 2.60, taking it to the dealer and asking them to allow me to take the box of shims hom over the weekend.
I have a feeling once I am done the bike may loose some of it's "peakiness" and move a little more power down lower, and I'm good with that!
Also, planning on syncing the carbs, already has newer iridium plugs, most all of the other maintenance is done, about time to ride.
