July 13, 2014 at 1:10 pm #227614and changed the rear wheel bearings on the sons husky 50
July 13, 2014 at 2:02 pm #258242After the engine re-manlting that finished at 3am yesterday (Sunday) morning, I put the rest of the bike together today, Rolled it out into the driveway and after a few kicks I was greeted with a VERY crisp crack and burble from the Staintune.
Is there a sweeter sound than a freshly rebuilt engine? haven’t heard it in 5 months, so I am a happy camper.
Blue slip and all sorted
July 15, 2014 at 9:06 am #258243Blue slipped, green slipped, slipped through rego!
Nick’s work on the springy bits is like night and day to how it used to be. feels like an enduro bike now, not an arm chair with a teeth chattering front end.
Bring on the boys weekend, only two more sleeps!
Tonight I fitted a more substantial battery 2.9ah (HID and 12v socket) and made a bracket instead of using 20 zipties. Webbed tape was not meant to be, but clamping bracket was not quite right.
July 28, 2014 at 8:14 am #258306Replaced the back wheel bearings $35 20 min job

Now lets see if they get 2900km like the last set did.August 11, 2014 at 9:03 am #227615August 16, 2014 at 6:31 am #227616Did only half the jobs I had planned for the 690 today :S
Grabbed a new rear black thing, oil filter kit, new pillow top grips, had lunch, drained the old oil/removed filters changed the grips and that’s as far as I got.Visitors turned up and now I can`t be bothered getting back into it to be interrupted to take the daughter to the flicks at 5.30 :laugh:
Even half a planned shed time is better than none though I suppose ,,,
