I started over the weekend working on my fork. With all the family there and the various things I had to do I couldn't actually get to working on the forks other than removing them. I cleaned them last night so I wouldn't be putting dirty forks inside my truck. I brought them in this morning and drilled and tapped to put in some drain screws. The funny thing is, after I was done and I picked up the forks to take them back to my office I saw something strange that confused me for a second. It ended up that once I upended the forks fluid that was still in the forks came pouring out of the hole I drilled. It was squirting out about 6 ft. so I spent the next 5 minutes cleaning it up
I also cut the PVC for my Sonic springs. I will wait till I get home and go thru a flush with some mineral spirits. I will also go over a couple of areas with some 0000 steel wool to clean it up.
This next weekend I will also be replacing the crappy ME880 tire with a Michelin PR2 and I will get my front fender fixed and also mount it. It had a nasty rattle that I couldn't stand. I have been without it for quite some time but I want to get it all running again. Then I might even go thru and give it a good cleaning.
Oh, another thing I need to do. The guy that put the cigarette light plug on the fairing did not put in a way to disconnect it so I can never take off my whole faring. So I want to work it over and put in a quick disconnect. I have been having a problem that I am certain is related to the wiring the guy did. It seems to short out and blow the fuse which also takes out my clock and clock light. Hopefully this will take care of that issue.
I also need to look at my grounding for the HID lighting. Sometimes while I am riding the light will just shut off and I have to pull in the clutch, turn the key off (to reset the circuit) and then restart the bike to get it back on. I have had an issued with it not coming on initially for awhile now that I think is ground related and I see the as a continuance of the same issue.
