It Is Valves Day, My Dudes

And ye gods, everything underneath the tank and plastics on my KLR is filthy.

I am certain there will be many miles of many adventures to come this year, so it's time to get the ol' bastard in ship shape. It's been overdue for a valve check for the last thousand miles or so, but that's done now. New plug, oil change, a filter clean, fresh brake fluid and I pushed about a tablespoon of air out of the rear brake line (?).

This weekend will be coolant, swingarm and suspension pivots, and maybe a thorough cleaning...

Please don't post stuff like this. It only serves to remind me that I need to do my values.

Bring the sumbitch by, then. We'll put it up on the stands and knock that job out in about half an hour. Believe me, I have any number of various shim sizes collected over the years.

Perfect. Sounds like the perfect excuse for a bike road trip. I will leave today
