Grease under my fingernails

06.30.2003

I took apart The Motron today. It took four hours, but she's almost ready. My workhorse pulled its weight in Cinci, now she's ready to tackle the great plains.

She's faster now, w/ a larger front sprocket (from 9 teeth to 11). The brake pads are in good shape. The clutch cable's adjusted to give just a bit more slack. I took the piston & cylinder apart, decarbonized the head and piston, checked the rings, and polished the cylinder.

I still need a new petcock. I also want to replace the throttle cable, the grips, and speedo cover. But it's all coming together.

Sometimes you just need to get a little dirty to feel good again.
