02-06-2011, 02:12 AMWell, I went for my first ride today on this motorcycle.
It has been thawing like crazy the last three days in Canuck land, unusual for us this early. Thawed enough for the gravel to become exposed on the road in places. Then last night it started to freeze again and stayed frozen all day today. This set up the road in prime condition, no snow, no mud, but good traction. I wrapped up in all my snowmobile gear and carefully rode out the 200 meters of my driveway on ice until I got to the gravel road. I had about 1.5km of frozen gravel to ride on so I went back and forth until I got cold and put 10 km on my (I mean my daughters) bike. At least I got the whole engine and transmission good and warm. I think this is going to be just perfect for my daughter to learn on.1976 Honda GL1000 (work in progress)

It is truly gratifying to see a father taking so much care and concern for his daughter's motorcycle .... of course it has nothing to do with the fact the Kwakker is too big and heavy and the Honda is too big and heavy and the little Konker has been sitting there looking at you for weeks just begging for a little rip up and down the gravel? I hope your daughter is at home and the thaw sets in properly soon and that pops has bought her all the gear so SHE might get a go before too long? Photos required when/if this ever happens mate.

02-06-2011, 04:19 AMOf course, it is ALL about safety! I mean, I needed to test the bike to make sure that it was ridable. And then there was my safety; I needed a motorcycle riding fix and your right, all the others were too heavy, so the only one left was a light and nimble china bike. Fortunatly my daughter was away playing basketball otherwise I might not have been able to do this.

02-17-2011, 01:44 AMgreat pics of the shock. I have a leaking monoshock on my qlink xp 200. how hard was it to take the mono off and put back on?. qlink told me these were oil only shocks not air or nitrogen. but please tell me about that air tap on the side of the shock at the top what is that there for. did your shock have it?
I have the tech manual and it states special tools and technique needed. but in the manual it looks simple to me. any help would be great

Easy to take the shock off. Just unbolt the top and bottom mounts. May need to see if it will come out from below the swing arm. Once it is off, then you will need a spring compressor to take the spring off of the shock body if you are just going to replace the shock. This can me more problematic if you don't have the right tools. Maybe just buying a replacement shock as a whole unit might be better.
I never did anything with the valve in the shock, but I believe that it could be used to put air in it to stiffen it up. But you also need the correct type of pump to keep releasing too much air when removing the air chuck.1976 Honda GL1000 (work in progress)

Should be air in the shock, any mountain bike pump for suspension will do. Forchetto talks about it here.
Sure do miss that guy.
Cheers!

04-10-2011, 02:07 AMFinally got a few km on the bike. Changed oil at 130km. Took the oil screen off the bottom of the engine. Very clean. Took the oil filter apart. As you can see only a few flecks of metal particles.

Still have some snow here, but at least the roads are bare and dry. Still cool, only +5C or +6C high during the day.
Got my daughter on the bike a couple of days ago. Her second day of training, she finally got into third gear. Progressing well. Only a couple of hours practice under her belt, but I think she will get the hang of it soon. Used to riding quads which have automatic clutches, so the transistion to a manual is new. How do you let out the clutch without stalling?1976 Honda GL1000 (work in progress)

04-10-2011, 03:42 AMAs you're releasing the clutch with left hand, twist the throttle with the right hand. Practice 'rocking' the bike back and forth an inch or so. When the bike starts to move, you can release the clutch completely. Practice until you know how fast to 'release' and 'throttle' respectively.
