What's on Gas Man's Lift [kills even your high speed internet]

Gas Man · 03-27-2008, 01:41 AM

Installed a K&N air filter and then went on to install a jet kit

Pull the throttle cables

Pull the choke cables

pull the tank, some EPA and carbs

Pull the vacuum springs, and slides

Change out the needles

Re-assemble that...

Drill out the air/fuel mixture screw cap

Drop the bowl

Pull the floats, inspect the float vlv and change the main jet

Reassemble the carbs

Put them back in and start hooking everything back up

Looking good... starts and runs, but carbs need to be sync'ed

Then I asked him how many miles it had. Bad idea! 10K he says. Have you changed the fork or diff oil (shaft drive)?? Worse idea! he says NO.

Changed the diff oil... super easy.

pull the front wheel

Pull the forks.

Change the oil on the forks, and re-assemble the bike... YEAH!

Then I could finally get to doin somin to my bike!

not only is he a neighbor, he's a biker, and a vet. That's the tripple play enterance for me to help a bud.

But damn it kills the postwhoring...

Who or what will be next??

Not sure...

But for now the Phoenix is taking up that space....

Two words; Baller. Status.

Questions;
How easy is it to clean off the top part when you spill oil, lube, brake fluid etc? Can you just tip it like a tow truck bed and hose it off?
I see it has wheels on one end of it's base and a handle on the other, how much does it weigh? Easy to move around?
I see electrical cords in a couple pics, it has a power lift mechanism? If so, can it be lifted manually if the powers out for some reason?

1. Its a glossier style black diamond plate. Really smooth so it wipes up really easy. I usually clean it off with windex and a rag.

2. It weights like 700# or about 1 harley!

On the painted floor with no bike on it... it slides around pretty well. Plus as you can see the in the first slightly assembled pic of it... it came with a hand truck that helps roll it around on those wheels. Their real is to roll when the lift goes up and down.

3. The electric cords are just for the battery tender or my little heater (its cold here in the winter). The lift is 100% air powered.
