Not sure about motorcycles but I recently gave my son-in-law (master Ford and Nissan mechanic) a set of very expensive vernier calipers as he now has to document, measure and photograph everything... It's a PITA for him but now a reality. I imagine motorcycles are not exempt from this process...

It was Bowmanville store. I only seen the one pail. Other locations might have some available. Sent from my SM-G970W using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

Picked up 20L Rotella T6 at Peavey mart for $97. Maybe there is more at other Peavey mart stores for your shopping pleasure? Happy apexes. Sent from my SM-G970W using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

I use ear plugs. I don't want to hear anything lol. I like the rumble of the engine and the Pink Floyd songs I sing in my helmet. Sent from my SM-G970W using GTAMotorcycle.com mobile app

So I tired a Johnson bar and socket with no luck. I tried a pneumatic impact gun without success. My son in law Is an auto mechanic and has a No ******** pneumatic impact gun. Two rattles of the gun and then that glorious whirl sound and success. Just waiting for a new nut and tab washer before...

Thanks. Right hand thread then?

2019 Kaw. ZX10R the manual doesn't indicate a right or left hand thread for the drive sprocket nut. I assume it's a right hand thread. Anyone know for sure? I placed significant torque on the nut but it won't budge. yes I flattened the retaining washer first. Bike is in gear and rear brake...

It took 5 hours to change an air filter on zx10r. I was however not in a hurry.

That is the plan. I don't have replacement shims etc. The rest is just basic maintenance. I'm going to have to learn about abs fluid bleeding.

My old zx11 was easy enough, did it a few times until the clearance remained unchanged. The zx10 looks like it's going to be someone else's problem. Any recommendations as who can properly and competently perform this task.

valve clearance inspection \adjustment. Chain and sprockets, fork oil, coolant and break fluid change, air filter, break pads and tires. pads. It's now the value of a klx but it goes a long way. I'm now leaning towards an atv.

KTM 500 EXC-F looks appealing. Wondering about the seat?

Same. Except it was 1981. I then handed my bike (1973 Kaw 900) over to my dad and he took and passed the test. My dad's first and last ride lol.

I'm asking because I have never owned a bike under 750cc. I was concerned about overheating or spark plug issues.
