I won't add anything to what's been mentioned (tires, brakes, fluids), other than to say that brake fluid (which is what is in your clutch reservoir) doesn't evaporate.  If the fluid level was low there's a leak somewhere and most likely it's the clutch slave.  Tell-tell sign would be paint lifting or gone from the slave cylinder area.

The clutch slave can be rebuilt or replaced with a new one for a fix.

Hey Garth,

Donna and I won't be able to make it this year. If you haven't ordered the shirts yet, please cancel mine. If you have ordered, I'll definitely pay you for it and I'll try to sweet talk the Cap'n into getting it to me. Thanks for putting in the effort to make these shirts happen.

Donna and I have cancelled our reservation and will not be able to make this one guys. I have some medical issues that don't allow me to qualify for travel medical insurance, so we won't be leaving Canada for now. I won't be riding at all this season due to a bunch of restrictions.

Very disappointed to not be seeing y'all again. It's been far too long! We've been looking forward to this for a year!

Ride safe and have a great time my friends!

Derek

Quote from: giantkiller on May 01, 2026, 12:07:28 AMI was helping a friend of mine. He's going to have back surgery. He was going to adjust the chain on a friend's Indian. The guy left the key. But he couldn't ride it to his garage. So he asked me to help.
Expecting a big bagger...
It's an FTR 1200.
I never knew they made such a thing. Awesome vtwin torque....
Now I'm obsessed with them.....
I'm trying not to buy one.

Welcome in the club

I went to buy another FJ..... :wacko2:

End up with FJ and FZR 1000 :dash2:

Now looking for ZRX :sarcastic:

Probably will sleep in the garage :good2:
