- March 18, 2018, 18:36:59 PMWell the valve check was completed today on both bikes and happy to report that both bikes have fallen will within the specs.
Red has now 66,394 km or 41,256 miles on the clock
Pearl, now due to the transformation will be called Raven has a mere 18, 193 km or 11,304 miles on the clock.
So now to button up Red and she is ready for the road, and now to start on the actual build on Raven, and the new rear shock is here and so we are good to go......

- February 12, 2018, 17:54:40 PMWell you did this correctly. Always use kerosene to rinse the forks out, as it will not harm the seals. I also have a pair of baby bottle brushes on a long wooden dowel........I poured out the old oil, poured in a bit of Kerosene and then ran the brushes up and down a few times, added some more kerosene and shook it up, careful ass it might expand forcefully. Then I drained them and hung them for a good overnight hanging. Also used 10w for the fork oil.
You should notice a nice ride, and perhaps time to take the grandson for a ride, bet he would be thrilled..........might consider bringing him to Rendezvous 19 in the Soo.......

- February 12, 2018, 15:48:33 PMI know you was...I like your set up. I imagine the longer they drain the better. I dont know if this was proper but I rinsed mine out with kerosene then a final rinse with fork oil...then filled. Black gunk came out.
Went with 10w also.
