Tech Day?

[DSM8 451]

Since the truck is still out of the shop for a few more weeks and the weather is starting to cool down, I wanted to throw out the idea of a tech day in September.

On the 13th.
Wanted to gauge interest.

@KTMrad

Ok seems like we might have enough people to make this worth hosting, I will do it regardless.
The usual disclaimers.
You are responsible for the hauling away of old tires
We can manage to dispose of you used oil, bring your own cause.

All the fabrication, machining etc if needed is free you only pay for consumables depending on the work being done.

13th is currently open on my calendar.  I recently picked up a new to me bike and some unnecessary accessories, perhaps could wait to install them until tech day.

I really like this idea! I have nothing on my calendar and am in the middle of top-end work on my Beta so I don't think I could move the bike anywhere but I could always swing by to meet people or help where I can. I guess I'll be a maybe.

These are usually the best way to meet a group of folks from this group.
I will expect to have the gates open and if we get enough interest we will fire up the grill or such 
We only ask for donations to the site which help defray the cost for @KTMrad that come out of his pocket.

I'm open for the 13th. I was just thinking about a tech day today.

Let's do it !

[DSM8 451]

So do we have any sort of headcount at this point?

So far looks like 3, maybe 4 and I have a person or two that might show up whom is not on this site but into motorcycles.

[sesamegirl 9]

I'll be there! I can bring food/drink options, I'm not sure what people normally do. 

I won't have my bike as PowerSeal USA currently has my cylinder but I could maybe work on valve springs or something like that. 🤷‍♀️

I'm excited to meet people!

We will have a grill depending on head count we do burgers or such 

people are responsible for their own choice of beverage

Calling the the usual peeps to see if we can get some sort of head count

I’m gonna try and make it, but it depends if I can get doggy care, and how she’s doing. 

[SpaceCowboy 73]

I'm out. Just be getting home from our honeymoon late that night

[Mr.JAJA 480]

I will bring the TT600 to check and get it running. Might need to build a kickstand.

I found a set of clutch plates in my garage, I'm pretty sure they will fit your TT if you'd like them.

[Mr.JAJA 480]

Bring them in.

[sesamegirl 9]

Does anybody that was going have tools for replacing swingarm / linkage bearings? I wanted to do mine but don't have the specific tools that makes it an easy job. Thanks!

[J5ive 105]

I plan on being there.

Arbor press, sockets, snapring plier.

Bring the swingarm with, I have a plasma cutter, metal cant fight us if it is a liquid
I would suggest you get there early since sometimes these can be a bitch to get out but we can get you sorted

20T press, large hammers, and excessive application of force.
I am confident we can get them out

[tntmo 1007]

Beer as lubrication.

[sesamegirl 9]

Thank you everyone! I might splurge and get the Motion Pro suspension tool set which would do it. I'll either work on that or I'll do my valve springs I'm thinking. Not sure yet. I plan on getting there early regardless. 

[Mr.JAJA 480]

If anyone has one or more, rear mono shock springs, please let me know what you have. I know I need a stronger for my TT600  but as for now, I  don't know what I have installed.  So I like to get a collection for testing and measuring on the work bench.

If you can bring some to the tech day, it would be great. 

[tntmo 1007]

I've done dozens of suspension bearings without a tool set.  What bike is it?
