Official wrench parties are not held in the heat of summer! So it'll probably be in September.
Unofficial wrench parties can be scheduled any time we're home and not otherwise occupied. How does June work for you?

Most of our weekday rides are impulse things. Lunch rides, usually 100-200 miles. If you want to come ride with us, let us know when you'll be coming down, and we'll likely get the urge to ride!

i'd like to take off my gas tank, to see it done so it would give me the confidence to do it alone....
I know there are some tricks to it - and don't tell "Naw, it's easy...."
Brain surgery is easy.... to a brain surgeon.
A triple flip with 3 twists is easy.... to a diver.

Mary; what do you need done ? So I know if I need to get anything !  hey wizard, i'm looking into putting bigger slow jets in. still waiting for feedback from a buddy on that one.... i have a throttle lock that needs to go on and a license plate lamp cover to replace. and new adjustable clutch and brake levers that i was given. oh yeah, i have a new air filter too, that i was given as well.  i think i got it all in. |

You do understand the carb. block will have to be removed (from the bike ) to install the slow jets, and wile thy are out should be cleaned. That will take at least one day and maybe more depending on what we run into. Why do you think you need 38 slow jets, is it running rough at idle?

yeah, i hear it's a pain in the arse. it's not an immediate thing that needs to be done, but 'i'd' like to get to it one of these days. we should wait until it's cooler outside, anyways. i know a bike guru who got my sabre running tiptop (in n.c. smoky ride tim and i were just got back from) and i'd like the valk to do the same, eventually. but like i said, we can wait on that and talk about it when i get down to your place for the other stuff. |

38 slow jet will not make your bike run any better. The only reason for changing is thy are less likely to plug if the bike sits a long time. A good fuel adative before sitting will do the same thing. If you are looking for better preformance you need ajdustable needles and larger main jets ! But your MPG will suffer a little. Slow jets only work up to about 2000 rpms.

Wizard just went through the slowjet change on his black bike, so it's pretty fresh in his mind, too!
