    Spare time....

    Anyone else on a stormy night reading the service manual because it's full of good information?

    Or am I the only one with too much time?

    In addition to motorcycling, I have several:
    Wine making
    Sound reinforcement
    Shooting
    It's just that none of them have anything for me to do right now.

    Actually, Isleen is in for her 16k service and brake recall work and I'm looking up all the things they have to touch so I can check their work.
    Cheers,
    Steve

    Good luck on the things they touch Steve. They managed to lose one of the rubber grommets on my right side engine cover. I did an oil change the next day and found it.

    When I visited Steve 0080, I zip tied all my grommets in place and lubed them up.
    But yes, as you wrote somewhere, it is amazing what passes for technical knowledge these days.

    So where did you come up with the name for your scoot. I have never heard of that one. the closest I have heard is Isolene, Is there a meaning behind your name as most names have some meaning attached?

    I don't wait for a stormy night .... I am constantly flipping through manuals when I get a spare moment.
