Maintenance Day Preparation

[V7Goose]

This is a very important note for anyone who is planing to attend Don's maintenance day, or any other maintenance day:

 

If you are going to do any work on your bike, PLEASE come prepared with all supplies that you might need! It is not appropriate to expect to use consumable items which the host might happen to have - and worse, he might not have what you need anyway!

 

For example, if you are planning to change a tire, make sure you have some #0 or #00 steel wool to clean the rim bead area. I will have rubber lube and some self-stick wheel weights at Don's maintenance day, so those are the only things you can expect to not need to bring.

 

Other things you might need, depending on what you plan on doing: wire, switches, crimp connectors, gaskets, liquid gasket material (Form-a-Gasket), spray carb cleaner/degreaser, electrical tape, oil, coolant, grease.

 

We should ordinarily have the majority of tools needed, but if you think a special tool is needed for your job, better ask ahead of time or bring it yourself! At Don's maintenance day we will have the necessary tire changing stuff and an inch-lb torque wrench available. At this point I can't think of anything that has been talked about that will require other special tools, but ask if you are not sure. Thanx!
