Hey all, I finally got done cleaning most of the garage and looking to host a tech session after BBT maybe in 2 parts.

Tech Session I - valve adjustement and desmog
Tech Session II - steering stem and wheel bearings

Anyone interested in doing the instructional portion would be awsome. In replacing the wheel bearings the only write up or videos I found always mentioned having some wheel bearing tool kit, does anyone have this kit and is it really needed.

I think I have all the tools

I think we met before at Clay's (possibly), but which metro area do you live in?

[popag]

yup - it was at clay's - im on the NW side - between 529 and 290 off of hwy 6

I'll show up if I am in town, have you set a date

[popag]

have not set a date yet but probably soon after BBT - i know that lots of folks will be there - maybe 4/16 a Saturday

[xcaliber]

I'll show if I'm not out of town

[JC507JC]

I'll definitely show up. I don't need any of that done, but I'd love to meet some more riders and I could definitely learn something while helping out.

Unfortunately on the 16th I have another pinewood derby race to run, else I would ride out there.

I'll have my daughter that weekend, so I may or may not be able to attend.  I'll keep watching the thread, though, and see what happens.

I'm hoping someone will come that has done a valve adjustment before . . . if not may have to postpone

[HockeyJoe]

I think I have to work that weekend but I would love to make it out there. My bike hasn't run in about a year and a half and would love to learn how to clean my carb. Mr. VTX sent me a great step by step guide but I'm afraid to tear into it by my self. I've never done anything like that and I prefer to learn under instruction or at least have someone around that I can ask. If I could make it would it be ok to bring a trailer with me? I dont know how much room you got.

I just noticed the post about 5/22 tech session - how did it go - dang it missed another one 

[Tweetys_Revenge]

We did 2 sets of Progressive fork springs I had my bike torn down to do the Valves but could not find my tappet wrench. I borrowed one from George on Wednesday and put my bike back together. Chad showed me a throttle cable adjustment I had never done and boy what a difference runs Great Now.
