Thanks for sharing. This needs to be a sticky.

 

I'm realizing this can also make your Garage a popular hang out... got some opportunities to service some others now. That's simple in my book...

 

great post...should be a sticky in the video section

 

The clutch adjusting looks simple liked the videos

 

Thanks USMCBAY!!

Great Info..... yes, should be a sticky so we can easily refer to it.....

 

Just what I needed. I need more of this kinda stuff. How about cable lube and greasing neck bearings. I've recently decided to try my own services, this will come in handy.

 

Ha... we have a JoHn Armstrong that Co-heads our Crane and Heavy Hauler division here in TX... I'll look into the Neck Bearings - that was my other ghost thought on my next attempt at Garage PM.

 

Just a couple suggestions: 1. when you do your throtle cables you should pull the brake lever and put a piece of cardboard or cable tie ends in the brake lever gap to keep fr. breaking the switch, be careful not to use too much that it gets any on the switches. It's best to use the needle type lube here and a few drops, I think I may have caused my cruise control switch to go bad. 2. when lubing the clutch with everything loose I use the cable luber tool and the green cable life stuff. The pressure in the can will force the lube down the cable. I know the new cables are teflon lined which helps but do this every 5k miles and you'll have an easy pull clutch.

 

Nice! Thanks for sharing!

 

Good stuff... thanks for the extra tips... I wonder if aftermarket cables are Teflon lined as well???
