One rider’s sporadic thoughts on motorcycling and whatever else life throws at him.
Yesterday after doing the coolant change, I decided to go ahead and start the tedious removal of parts to access the clinder valve cover head so I could check my valve shims.
I got so worked up doing it I plumb forgot to take any photos of the process, but it required that I take off [...]
Last Saturday was the club tech day, and I spent all day helping other guys. This morning I decided to get some things done to the F650GS that needed doing.
I got the seat and faux tank off and got busy draining out the old coolant. That daern radiator cap is so

I’ve been riding the little F650 to work every day this week, and it has been rather pleasant in the mornings but hot in the afternoons on the way home. The truck has the radiator off waiting on a new one. Apparently it is not flowing properly, because it ran hot as I was driving [...]
I was supposed to ride down to the local club meeting today but I had several loose ends to tie up and I still feel tired…partly from the rally ride last week and partly from beginning work this past Monday.
