No special skills required on your part, just look at it and take it out piece by piece. Before you take it out check for any play, but you will to unload the shock from the swing arm to do that. If there is no play then the bearings should be good and only need to be cleaned and greased. You can also drill and tap for grease fittings and save yourself trouble down the road. Just be sure that the fittings point to a place where you can get at them.

You shouldn't have to tune very often. Why you need to do a tune is to balance the in going air into the cylinder and that is controlled by the carb linkage. So in fact what you would be doing is adjusting for wear in the linkages. I would say that if you did it once every 2 years or 50k km you should be good. Now if you rip tearing at things under the tank and adjust the wrong screw, then to get things right again you will need a carbtune.

Just leave them off, the seat isn't going anywhere with you sitting on it.

Slides will be tough to find, valve cover gaskets are the same as the 2nd gen.

You are just jealous, and that won't get you anywhere.

Just can't figure out why somebody would pay for a 24hr bed and then only use it for 8 hrs. Got to get the use and value out of things eh!

Could be battery connections but most likely the ignition switch went south.

It's about that big, but then again maybe it's a bit smaller. If that don't fit, try a bigger one. See how helpful we are?

I do wish you would get things right, I don't ride a spider!!! It's a Spyder!! EH?

Don't know him from Adam

It scares me when I encounter riders that ride for noise and speed. Those attributes seem to negate common sense and safety all too often.

Welcome to the group, hoping that you can make yourself part of this family. Good to have you on board.

Thanks Earl, great reminder!

OKAY, but only because it's a Wing,, and because of Trina of course. NICE looking machine, I'm sure you will enjoy the ride!

EeH?

Gonna be an interesting series to watch from start to finish.

Maybe not Canadian, but sure fits my thoughts......can I go now?

Wowzy! You sure have some plans, me thinks you won't be bored anytime soon.

Tied up all day, but otherwise,,,,,,,,,,,,

I may have been at one time but there are others who have learned from me and now outshine me. We keep them south of the 49th. Sometimes they need some fine tuning and left or right correction, and who better to guide and direct them than an old experienced veteran of the club. Hopefully @saddlebum can make it.

It is in my consideration, but will have to decide closer to the date. For now, understand that I would really like to be there, even if it's to keep the hoodlums in line.

Looks to me like it might be a piece of the inner faring.

Yep, the wind can blow both ways, some of those raised in the ghettos become doctors and lawyers and some of those who have 'everything' end up on the streets.

The results of fathers and mothers being so self centered that the upbringing and development of their kids has very little to no interest in their lives. What is important is their own self interest and entertainment and their kids can fend for themselves, and if bad happens it can be blamed on the government. On the other hand, what can kids do for proper development in cities? As parents we should be involved in their total upbringing, work ethics as well as play behavior and need to develop a system that addresses all those needs, but alas, it's all left up to the government and then it can be complained about and the responsibility is passed on and lives can carry on. Conclusion: This will lie in the importance of life itself, what we do on this earth counts, but life is short so we have little time. It starts at home! Now! In addition: The love of money is the root of all evil. For explanation: A poor man can be content in what he has, he finds shelter and food on a daily basis and can be content to be fed and sheltered. The other side of the coin is the person who desires money and works to get it, thinking that once he has enough he will be happy, but when he finds a little and puts it away, he needs more. Then once he has some more he needs to protect what he has and so desires to increase what he has and his whole being becomes centered on the defense of what he has. If he looses some, his world falls apart. If you have very little or nothing, then you have nothing to loose, but if you have a nest egg then you can very easily live to defend it, even though it might be useless tomorrow. At one time years ago our continent was poor and we all had to work together to survive, today we are in some ways much too rich and our dependence on each other and family has gone to dependence on riches.,,,,,,,, or something like that. JMT what are yours?
