Just checked the weather, Saturday/Sunday is supposed to be 55-60 degrees and sunny. You up for another ride at HMX, some of us will probably be out there.

I'd love to, but i already told my friend Kevin who invited me to go on this family trail ride on Saturday in New paris, im working saturday from 6-11. If you are riding Sunday, I would need a ride, because the guy I rode with a few weeks ago took his engine out of his bike the after we rode at hmx, so that makes me SOL haha

Yesterday I put on a new Bridgestone Gritty on the rear and changed the tranny oil. I am now thoroughly ready to ride this thing on T Day weekend. :thinking:

Nighthawk016 · Nov 6, 2011

i replaced my fork oil yesterday, with some 10w, but i guess since they are cartridge style forks i actually needed 5w oil... oh well..

I also found out why my forks were so soft, manual says 510cc's and one side had roughly 250cc's and the other had around 350

good thing i replaced it and i just went with 500 on each side so all i would have to buy is 1 bottle.

I was a ED78 junky until just lately. My Bro went for a rear, and they were out of the Gritty, so he put a Michelin SX on. That thing has some huge knobbies, and it has held up well for for him. I recently jumped the Gritty ship, and installed the SX. With only 20 LPNF miles on it, it's too soon to give a true evaluation, but so far, I'm liking it.

After some melting of the snow, later today I am gonna do some Tday prep on the trailer and bikes. 2 weeks and 2 days to lift off. :banana:

I looked for this tire on line and can not even find it. This is my 3rd ED78 and I like them but always open to suggestions. Was going to try the MX71 this time around but they were not available. I look up Michelin SX and up come car tires. :thinking:
