It was quite a downpour! Really…
I was overwhelmed… The weather should be so-so through the afternoon?
Saturday and Sunday were crazy busy—packed with people from morning on…
Yesterday lunch didn’t happen until 5 o’clock! I was really exhausted.
Yesterday I replaced the wheel bearings on a Yamaha XJR1300, the ’04 model?
Most modern naked bikes use 20mm diameter bearings. Most domestic bikes have a puller that can handle it,
but this time a new size showed up. 22mm diameter…
I had no choice but to make a special tool! I was going to machine it from aluminum and tap it out, but that plan failed, so I had to rely on a heat gun, a chisel, and a hammer
instead…
We got it off safely…
Five people went to FSW for practice today, but they didn’t even use the stopwatch I gave them to time anything—
That’s really disappointing.
By the way, it can time four bikes at once and send the data via infrared.
Pretty amazing.
