I was told put it in a bucket of water with dish soap and clean it good than reoil and install?

That's generally what the shops tell you, Re-oiling every time after every ride will cause it to gunk up in my experience, You can usually feel the oil in it after you wash it unless it's been washed several times, If you're unsure after washing it stick it to a piece of paper, If it sort of sticks to it a little or a lot then it's ok.

So since the stupid ass managers at this job don't like to give more than 14hrs/week to me (5 this week).... I'm gonna get the front end from Kurt (haven't forgot, just trying to build funds), headlights/corners and taillight gaskets then move back to making the daily rider faster.

Sick of almost being sideswiped since nobody pays attention to the integrated signals in the taillight, so I'm buying the: http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?index=0&sbk=1&nav=SEARCH&itemId=400462463726

Plans
NCY 72cc BBK
NCY super trans kit
Gates kevlar belt (purchased)
Triple tree headlight bracket
UNI filter
Racing rear shock + lowering mount
New OEM blue battery box/black fender washers
"I <3 Riding Slow" plate frame


Possible plans
Cut the springs in the forks
Paint the gas tank and triple tree with bedliner

Remember when you said something about me showing off a s***ty kawasaki cruiser? :lol:

It's not mine, I've been working on it for some old dude for months, He got a new bike and told me to sell it and keep half for working on it.

Just sharing because I had to take pics of it today, I really hate every aspect of this thing, It's just f***ing gay, The XR had twice as much torque.

:lol: I remember that thing from an old ass GoPro video. The only thing decent on that bike are the mags, smaller version of the KZ1000 wheels... Good for a café build.

Biggest disappointment was when I tried to wheelie it... It didn't even hop.

I'll be stoked when it sells though, I'll have an extra $500-$800 for my bike build.

Good deal right there! Lol

Gotta deal with a bunch cruiser rednecks though :disgust:

Gonna need a hazmat suit. :lol:

Haha, I want to go ride my bike again. I only know of 3 tracks in arkansas. closest one doesn't have races just practice any day but monday. Other 2 are about 1 hour away and race every other week. Once I can do all the jumps and slide through turns pretty fast I might go try a race lol

edit: Heard this song in Moto 4 on netflix. I like it lol

:rolf:, you tried to wheelie a Vulcan? I know it's supposed to look like a torque-y Harley, but it's far from an XR750.

 

[R13]

It seemed like a cool idea at first. :lol:
