Worksers comp and bad torque specsll

Of all the people I have had to deal with during this last year add half of stranges goindg on and odd recoveries, the one person I have been able to rely upon is Dr. Longwirth PH.d and clinicle psycholist. Someone that I have identified as Shark for his uncanalyabiliyt to cut through red tape. Even though I have been so mad at Dr. Memdoza I am grateful to him for turning me on to this guy.

The Ecstasy and the Agony

It always starts out something like the following...



Here is my buddy Randall starting to wrench on his pretty oilhead, oblivious to the destruction that lies ahead.

See how nice and clean the garage is...well

Here is an oil-head tool kit as packed at the factory






Here it is exploded

Spline Lubers Ball

Wisdom From The Ghetto Garage...

The four pillars of civilization are..

Duct Tape
Zip Ties
WD40
and...the magnet on a stick

Wrenching With Randall

It is interesting what "wrenching" brings out in people. For me it has always been inextricably linked to my self-esteem and has brought out in stark relief both my strengths and my flaws.

That, however, may be the stuff for another essay. The point of the day is that I got to pass on some of the knowledge I have rather painfully acquired over the last three years to my own student.



Here we have the airbox on Randall's bike with the filter removed showing the lovely crap that even lightly used bikes acquire in the lovely San Joaquin Valley

What a nice pretty bike to take apart!



First step...remove seat



I'm so afraid!



Battery out next!

I have done this job serveral times before but alway on an RT...the RS provided some minor differences, but nothing really major.

The main thing was the footpeg plates. Very different.

There is also a starter cover which makes sense in the absence of a fairing.

Vindicated

From time to time the Ghetto Garage philosophy of "just making it work" has been criticized by certain parties. However, check out these "modifications" to Peter Lenz's Mini-MotoGP bike.
