I'm assuming thats a video of the motor running?

I still need to take off the hardtop
grease my front wheel bearings, and rear driveshaft
put on new rear pads and rotors.

Finish building the OSCAR Smoker.

matth_85 · Apr 8, 2012

Whew. Down to the wire! Goin to have it re tuned Tuesday I hope.

GREASEMONKEY · Apr 8, 2012

Still need the stops adjusted, and figure out my starting problem!

LBarr2002 · Apr 8, 2012

Yeah, that's straight off the header. Burgundy says it sounds like a motorcyle. It's at the exhaust shop now. Hopefully pick it up tomorrow.

LBarr2002 · Apr 9, 2012

I've got to add fender trimming to my list. The tires don't rub as long as I go straight

.

97TJGUZZY · Apr 9, 2012

just need to lube the rear driveshaft and figure out my rear brake squeal.

GreyZJ93 · Apr 9, 2012

Well done larry!! That's all the sami has been missing....beefier squirels. Interested to see how it does now on the trail.

WolfGT · Apr 9, 2012

WolfGT · Apr 9, 2012
