what did you wrench on today??

Just out of curiosities sake, I checked to see if the key out of my 78 GS1000 was the same as my old 79 GS1000. Oh yea, same key! Now do they fit the 82 GS1100 I hung all the 78 body work on, so I dont need 2 keys? Oh yea, plugs right in.

A 4 year range, 3 different bikes and this is the ignition key?
It would have been a lot easier being a thief back then.

Put 30 miles on new pistons/rings, used head, bored cylinders. Did 2 heat cycles in the driveway yesterday to check oil level after dry.
20 minutes cooling between short startup procedure with moderate revving. Today lit it up, rode about 20 miles varying rpm the whole time.
Some 2nd gear rev to roll off several times, then 3rd rev to roll off, then 4th rev to roll off. 20 minute break. Rode another 10 miles took another twenty minute break between heat cycles. Rode home 2 miles and parked it for the night.

LMAO. I did that by accident with my girlfriend's truck a few years back. I was so used to pulling my keys off my right side that I did it out of habit, even though I had her key in my left hand. 3 year difference between my S-10, and her 1500. She just looked in disbelief when I showed her.

Back on track with this thread though, today I was chasing a charging problem with my S-10. Still have not figured it out, and it started raining.

I'm going to start this off by saying YouTube sucks and shouldn't be trusted completely. Charmayne's 1997 Pontiac Sunfire has had problems with the heater fan only working on high since we bought it. After a quick search of Google and YouTube, I bought a new resistor and installed it tonight. The video was correct that it is a pain to get to the screws that hold the resistor in place and requires contortion of every body part just to reach back against the firewall once you get the kick panel off. However, it also gave bad information by stating those screws were 6mm After about an hour of fighting with the screw in the back using the 6mm socket stated in the video, I finally decided to run over to the garage for my standard sockets. 5 minutes later it was out and the new one was put back in. I could only secure it though with the front screw as the back fell down under the floor carpeting.

Now off to replacing both front window regulators sometime this weekend.

I got some genuine clip ons for the Kat during the week, gave them a quick cut/buff/polish yesterday and then chucked a bunch of stuff on to get an idea of how complete it is now. Still a long way to go but getting there! Very happy with the frame colour now I got to get it out in some proper sunlight too.

Changed my oil today (and filter). Remembered to put the drain plug back in before filling.

Always a bonus! I know that sinking feeling when you see the oil draining straight onto the floor...

The swingarm some evening later in the week. ( have never done that before ).

Oh... I would like to talk to the engineer/designer person that decided to have the brake line run thru that bracket on the swingarm for the caliper stay.
