Just moved to the Twin Cities area, Minnesota

Ahh...I totally spaced that today was the first thursday....

ohh well...I am sure there was a crazy turnout today.

Anyways I think we should have a little GS group ride soon....and carb balance day also....

Cool,

Aaron

P.S. I have a Motion Pro valve tool now, so if one of you guys needs to borrow it feel free

[Ry_Guy]

I missed it too - was waiting on a new front tire. I'm game for a GS group ride though  You got that carb balancer put together, Aaron? How's it working?

[coll0412]

Parts yes....put together no

It is pretty simple though, just a 2X4 and some tubing and a little water so it could be done in under 30 minutes of labor.


I was thinking about next saturday or sunday(07/15 & 07/16) maybe do a sync and then go ride.


What kind of tire did you get, and where did you have it put on at Ry?

[Ry_Guy]

I got Avons AM51/AM52 HKM. I've had the rear on for the last thousand miles already and it works great. I ordered them at Americanmototire.com and had Al's cycle here in River Falls mount them for $25 each.

I'm gonna be busy this weekend, but lemme know how the carb sync goes if you get around to it.

Ciao

I'm probably up for doing a carb synch and a ride one of these saturday or sunday mornings.  My next couple weekends should be open

[manofthefield]

It's almost first Thursday again, who's going?

[coll0412]

I am...but some one seriously needs to remind me the day off...i can not keep track of days at all

[Ry_Guy]

I have to work.

[coll0412]

What time do you want to head down there???

Bummer you cant make it Ry

Some one PM Rema1000 and see if he is going to make it

[manofthefield]

I'm going to head over after work, so I'll probably get there around 5:15 or 5:30.  If you need to find me, my number is 2six2.3four7.8393

I'll see if I can pm Rema

Naturally, the twin cities GSers start getting together AFTER I move to Canada.

I'll be in town next week, and could get my hands on my bro's RD350 if y'all want to go for a ride. Let me know.

[coll0412]

Maybe its a sign grainbelt 


Yeah I am down for a cruise

[manofthefield]

Too bad we didn't see this:

So when will you be around Grainbelt?

Saturday morning is looking like a good time to go for a ride for me, weather doesn't look to bad either

[coll0412]

Ummm...quick question for you guys, where do you buy your oilfilters?

I seemed to have drained all my oil out of the crankcase, and then went up to Autozone only to find that no of the stores in the Twin Cities carry the SMO-00 filter any longer.

Damn Autozone

[manofthefield]

I've always bought Suzuki oil filters from the stealership in the past; I was going to go see if Leo's South had any in the next couple days

[coll0412]

Okay, so the only place in Minneapolis is Napa Auto Parts on Lyndale just south of Uptown


Part #:FIL4931
Price: 6.49

But they stock only 1 at a time, but the guys said that it is a regular stock item for his store.

[manofthefield]

I don't think the Suzuki ones are any more expensive than that, maybe even cheaper

[coll0412]

THey are cheaper at Kline Suzkuki($5.09), but since I wanted my bike for today(monday) I was forced to pay. Plus the OEM filter is far superior to these aftermarket filters, which kinda blows.
