For me this is more like, What have you done to your XS this week,
I’ve been busy in the shop getting my bikes ready for fall riding, it’s been a long hot summer here without much riding and winter is our prime riding season here in desert.
My XS2,
I wrote elsewhere about me doing an epoxy repair on my gas tank, so as long as the tank was off, it seemed like a good time to re torque the head. I also pulled my side filter to check for debri, that was all good. So then I went through the whole tune up ritual, set the cam chain adjustment, checked valve clearances, checked the carburetor settings and adjusted the free play on the dual carburetor cables so they were synced up. Then I put the fuel tank back on and filled it with gas, had a little spill disaster that was covered in my gas tank thread. Fired it up and checked the timing which has never wavered since initial set up.
After all that, I gave it a good cleaning and aired the tires up, and it’s ready to ride again!
My 77D,
Is mechanically in good shape, didn’t need any work at this time, but it was really filthy from taking it off road looking for WW2 air fields, so it got a good scrubbing too.
Then , I have had my windshield off for the summer, but I wanted to get it mounted back up for winter riding.
After I installed it I cleaned it up with this product, it works really nice, it lasts a long time , I’ve had this can forever.
Anyone else have a windshield cleaning product they like and can recommend?
Put my tail bag back on my rack and aired the tires up, and now old Blackie is good to go!
