[jwhughes3]

Jeff...we're good...much obliged my friend...if it were a 50/50 blend then we'd have a problem...
BTW FYI its not an allergic reaction to synthetic fabrics...its just that I am already a metabolic heater...so synthetic fabrics make me uncomfortably hot

Hey Ben, here's your fan!

Harry isn't coming this year. Is he?

Don't think so.

It might be Greg's color, but I'm not certain. I'll need to see him in it!

Don't involve me in your twisted sexual fantasies. That's why we keep Harry around.

I don't know what fuchsia is, so I had to look it up.

Just an FYI on the Ash Grey XS SE Shirts.


Especially for Ben: The base Ash Grey shirt is 100% cotton, but the tiny highlight speckle in-fact is a polyester blend.
That Speckle makes up 1% of the shirt so "TECHNICALLY" the shirt is really 99% Cotton.

So if that tiny speckle creates a problem for anybody, please let us (marty or I) know. We can get your shirt printed on plain grey or some other plain color that is 100% cotton.
I'm a details person and if its 99% and not 100%, well that is different and I gotta tell ya.
We don't want anybody riding on MAMA (Mountain Area Medical Airlift) because of some peanut type reaction to a shirt.

Jeff

Brilliant ....... if you are good then nobody will be wearing that alternative 100% cotton 'radiant fuschia' color shirt unless maybe Greg wants one

Normal Maintenance

IIRC, Yamaha "suggests" that the valve lash is to be checked every 5000 miles or every 36 years?

busy Jeff

What.....you still haven't had a chance to install that wire that was handed to you when I was there?........too much to do, and not enough time.

Jeff was also busy helping me change oout some valve shims on my XS. That job is even harder than removing & replacing the seat. One intake valve clearance was wide !??! Valve must have been staying closed too long, closing too early and not fully opening. No wonder I was having trouble syncing & tuning. Should not have skipped the "check valve clearance step". One exhaust valve was tooo tight. No more riding XS, out of concern that it might wear more, not fully close & burn valve. Thankfully, a leaking valve cover gasket prompted me to get in there as recommended. Now running better than it has in years. Thanks Jeff

Happy motoring,

[BA80]

3 weeks...................

Nope, house is falling apart faster than I can fix it + other priorities of late. Maybe this upcoming week I'll get to it.
Ordered some small diameter 20 gauge, higher temp rating flexi wire to evaluate.
Made some shorter 20-22 butt connectors to try and do it the airplane crimp way as we discussed with jetmech.
(like: 130 degrees in attic as I R&R the attic fan. I don't see how the HVAC guys do it all day long. Now that was not what I call fun!
on a ladder in the hot attic all contorted & shouting obscenities ....... )

Joy though is a Rally to look forward to and seeing all those 70 Red Sun 11 XS shirts being worn with some XSive chit-chat going on before we "GO RIDE".

Jeff

[motoman]

Yep, the ship has sailed ............
I just placed the Order. 70 shirts. I'll go pick em' up on Wed 17th.

3 weeks till 'Show Time' so we got stuff to finalize & print then some roads to check Tue 9th or Wed 10th look pretty good for that.
Oh, my bike doesn't have any pickup coil wires just now. better fix that this weekend.
