allmtrslut-


I believe it is in Celica's possession right now, waiting to ship to you.


Woah, what? This is the list, as far as I'm aware:

My_Celica_Is_Jealous   Anaheim, CA
AgentNitz              La Crescenta, CA
Mandres                ?, TX
2005-GS500-PDX         Portland, OR
allmtrslut             Los Angeles, CA
mk1incali                   San Diego/Beverly Hills, CA


So it's skipping AgentNitz, Mandres, and myself and going to allmtrslut? I must have missed something...

Did you pm allmtrslut and My_Celica_Is_Jealous?
The motorcycle is no longer the hobby, the skill has become the hobby.

Power does not compare to skill.  What good is power without the skill to use it?

No, but I've gathered that they're doing it together. Is that why you ask?

Oh, and the thread says it was started by me. I rule!

Mandres, my man, how about we have them ship it to me and you can come up and do them at the same time as me at my house? Beer and smokes will be provided.

Wink.

I don't think that's a worry.  Mandres' bike isn't exactly going anywhere yet. :)

Hehe, that's true.  It would be difficult to make it to Oregon since the head and cylinders are sitting on top of my refrigerator right now.  On the plus side the new valves, rings, gaskets and valve guide are supposed to be delivered today.  I just need to get the guide installed at the shop and the clearances set properly and she'll be good to go.  It's been a long, frustrating journey.

Mike, you're an inspiration to all of us.  No matter how bad it gets, you keep going.  Any year now, you'll have a great bike. :) 

I just tell myself that no matter how much maintenance my bike needs to make up for the neglect it suffered, at least I didn't get yours. :laugh:

And you're definitely a single guy.

agentnitz, allmtrslut and mk1...are you open to someone else joining the valve adjusting party? i'm in West LA, and would love to meet some fellow gstwinners and do some wrenching. Let me know when you're getting together, and if it'd be cool for me to join. Thanks!

AgentNitz

I got the kit last wednesday, and I've been kinda busy as of late (sorry!) but I hope to have em done this week. I'mma call Mk1 and see what he has to say. And after that, it'll be on the way to Mandres!
Aaaaah, Los Angeles. Where if the traffic don't kill ya, the air will =P

Actually I was talking about these guys who were going to do it together. How they accomplish that with completely cold bikes is beyond me unless they all come to one's house the night before...

hrmmm i was at my local Suzuki shop (Marina Suzuki) while i was there i bought a new front tire along with an oil/filter change + small stuffs... so he whips out a gs500 manual and explains to me that im in need of a valve adjustment according to my miles (7400ish); I downloaded Kerry's Grammy DIY movie and was wondering.. how does the kit move around?  :thumb:

Pablo makes a great point, I had forgotten about the fact that when I did my own bikes' + Daniely's, we waited all day to do them.  With my current school schedule, and lack of time in general to do extra-curricular stuff, I think I'll have to pass on this for right now.  I know my bike needs to be checked, but 3/4 were within spec after 10K miles, and I've put on 9 since then, so I'm not too terribly suspicious of them moving, since I run good oil and keep it clean.

I'd feel bad holding the kit up when there are people waiting who have been in line for much longer than myself, so if you need help doing yours, I'd be happy to ride up and lend a hand, but to do my own bike I'll need more time.


Glad to see it's still moving around.

Mk1inCali, sorry to hear you're out. AgentNitz, are you still going to try and do your valves? If you're still planning on it, and there is a way to work it out so i could do it with you, that'd be awesome. But, i also don't want to be one to hold things up. Let me know...
