  • Tire changing

    The new Cuil search engine is up. I started fiddling around with it, and one of the first things I found was this excellent page on motorcycle tire changing . Just thought I would pass it along.
    I think I have a loose screw behind the handlebars.

    '79 XS11 Standard, Jardine 4/1, Dyna DC1-1 Coils, 145 mains, 45 pilots, plastic floats - 25.7mm, XV920 fuel valves, inline fuel filters, speed bleeders, Mikes XS pods, spade-type fuse block, fork brace, progressive fork springs/shocks, manual petcocks, 750 FD, Venture cam chain tensioner, SS brake lines

    "Was quite a long read..."

    ...what with all the links and side trips I took.

    A good find, DBeardslee.

      Prom - glad you liked it. I made Prom happy - man is my head swelled .

      The Cuil engine was developed by a couple that used to work for Google. Their database is supposedly much larger than any existing search engine. The first day they had it up they got three or four times as many hits as they were expecting. It's a much simpler in-your-face than google so, unfortunately, you have to be able to spell to use it. I'm learning. Anyway that's where I found the tire changing stuff. Who knows what we'll find next.

        I put in xs1100 and this site was the first result.

        The voices in my head are giving me the silent treatment.
