1. Engine Oil Change

a) Drain and Replace Engine Oil:

b) Oil Quality and Performance Check:

  • After 1,000 miles (1,609 km) of riding, check the oil condition and engine performance.
  • Ensure the oil is protecting against wear and deposits.

2. Transmission and Primary Chaincase Fluid Change

a) Drain and Replace Transmission and Primary Fluid:

  • Use one of the many AMSOIL Synthetic V-Twin Primary Fluid choices for transmissions and primary chaincases.
  • AMSOIL V-Twin Oil performs like a gear lube without the negative effects of extreme pressure additives.

b) Check Transmission and Primary Chaincase for Wear and Damage:

  • Inspect for any wear or damage to the transmission and primary chaincase.

3. Inspection and Maintenance of Clutch System

a) Check Clutch Operation:

  • Ensure smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement.
  • Check clutch cable adjustment.

b) Clutch System Protection:

  • AMSOIL 20W-50 Synthetic V-Twin Motorcycle Oil contains no friction modifiers and promotes smooth shifting and positive clutch engagement.
  • Verify high TBN to resist acids that can degrade clutch material.

4. Rust Protection

a) Check for Rust and Corrosion:

5. General Inspection and Maintenance

a) Electrical System Check:

  • Battery condition and charge.
  • Lights and signals operation.
  • We recommend Battery Tender trickle chargers (they do a lot more than trickle charge).

b) Tire Inspection:

  • Check tire pressure and condition.
  • Inspect for wear, cuts, or damage.
  • Ask yourself do you really want to be going 75 mph beside a semi truck in Denver or over a mountain pass on THOSE tires?

c) Brake System Inspection:

  • Brake fluid level and condition.
  • Brake pads and rotors for wear and damage.

d) Suspension Check:

  • Front forks and rear shocks for leaks, wear, or damage.

e) General Cleaning and Lubrication:

  • Clean and lubricate any moving parts or pivot points.
  • Check and adjust throttle, clutch, and brake cables.

Garage Freezer Rebuild

http://jonathanlackman.com/blog/garage-freezer-rebuild-complete/

 

Freezer rebuild project is complete. By doing this I saved $1,497.21 by not having to buy a Gladiator garage freezer for Ginger . This cost me about $52.69.

First photos from this summer from cleaning, fixing the interior fan, and adding new cover board on back.

Then painted it HD orange. Tread plate on the front. Painted gaskets black. (Black is the new Black). Force rusted metal bars (before photos included). Attached rusted bars. Rubber tread plate detail on the handle. Latches on the door so it can’t pop open and ruin 1k worth of beef.

Getting locked out of your automobile isn't an exciting thing. You start your auto, step out to take a flyer off your window and the door shuts and locks behind you.

With a basic price around $14,000 the Caliber will be competitive.

Still, a Mexican built Scion like ‘Hornet’ will probably become the junior level vehicle within just a few years as DCX gets ready to take on Scion and the approaching inexpensively priced Chinese automobiles. Not too much needs to be done by VW to make preparations for the vehicle’s arrival as it is going to be a rebadged version of Chrysler’s successful minivans, the Caravan and City amp, Country. Yes, VW is turning to its German rival to fill a void in its line up. That is if you get a good guaranty from a good company. Luckily, there are resources available on the Web that permit you to compare extended guaranty quotations from multiple corporations all in one web site. If you'd like to ensure you are getting the hottest deal from a legitimized company, you must do your prpearation. This will help you to make certain that you are getting your moneys worth.
