Newbie appreciation
10/06/12 at 17:01:50

Just a note of thanks to this board. I picked up a 2006 S40 with 4500 miles and years of neglect. Thanks to this forum in the past 3 weeks, I have been able to:
o change the oil to Rotella T6 and oil filter and drain "puke tube"
o replace a broken right rear turn signal
o drain old gas and install raptor petcock and add inline fram fuel filter
o replace front tire, tube, and balance using dyna beads recommended on this forum
o replace front brake pads
o replace air filter with nu ploy fill
o build and use a 2x8 $20 motorcycle stand
o added cargo net for carrying things (from Harbor Freight)
o. added a master lock backpack lock to my right hand mirror as an inexpensive gas trip meter

Things remaining to do

o change rear tire, check rear brake pads, and dyna bead balance
o inspect battery and likely replace
o rejet carb
o do the dyna muffler mod
o strip corroded clear coat and polish cases

Thanks for all the help. In appreciation, I have contributed to the financial support of this forum.
