And BTW...You didn't read my little trick for breaking that pulley nut loose, did you? You could have it done before he gets there. Wouldn't want him to think that Dad is helpless would you?
How do you reckon I took mine off
PS - I know about the leg thing. I can stand and walk all day, but working on the floor can be a killer on the knees.
Yes I read it and broke two broom handles. Lefty loosie I know. NO GO it won't come loose. The idiots at Suzuki probably used loc-tite. Loc-tite is for people to lazy to check there bikes over once in a while. God I hate that crap. All I ever use is never seize to keep things from locking together. From everything I gathered in the last three hours on the net, they only made the LS400 for one year, 1987, and nobody has any OEM parts. It isn't even listed in any Suzuki dealer parts searches. The only way I found out what year it was made was by looking up Suzuki model histories on some Swedish web site.I hate cobbleing things together. Just never was my style. If you can't do it right, don't do it. Makes me wish I still worked at the machine shop like in 1969. Put me on a Bridgeport mill and I'll make anything. I loved those machines, Breaks, Shears, Lathes, man I loved working with all of them.
I'm almost tempted to buy the German kit, just to get the spacer and chain, and have a useless 50 tooth sprocket and a spare 17 tooth front. $265 + shipping sucks.
Iwish I could stand or walk all day. Standing=1hour, Sitting =1hour, Walking=200yds, I'm done, got to lay down for an hour to get the blood flowing and stop the pain. Now we know why I don't do long distance cruises anymore, and I have to be home to cook my own food, since I can't eat anything cooked in veggie oil. Pretty much blows all fried food,fish, fries, chicken, onion rings, no mayo, no green veggies. I haven't ate outside my house in 7yrs. now SUCKS. Should have just kept drinking and I wouldn't have had ten operations for blood clots. I'd still be making $55,000 a year instead of $25,000 between SSD and a small GM pension,eat anything I want, and be in a lot better mood. That's what I get for trying to get my act together. No wonder Dad said good guys finish last.
