It's 110 degrees here and I went to change my front brake pads, got the pads out on one side and realized they still have a bit more life left but figured gently caress it, I'll change them anyway, then went to unscrew the cap for the brake fluid reservoir so I could push the pistons back in on the caliper. I forgot there's a small screw that needs to be taken out to remove a clamp that keeps the reservoir closed, and at this point I was drenched in sweat, so I said gently caress it and put the old pads back in. So one little screw stopped my plan of doing brakes, oil, chain maintenance, and wheel cleaning today.

Just finished replacing the head stock bearings on the DR, along with getting both wheels to and from cycle gear to get tires on. An absolute hellish job, broken up by frequent rainstorms when it was supposed to be sunny. Took me 11 hours total, with delays, and running back and forth on errands for this and that. Plus, the bike is unweildy as gently caress, and all the nuts and bolts hadn't moved since 96, and the layout was so complicated. It would have helped if the trackside motorcycle lift had not broken the front and back legs near the end, with both wheels still off the bike. Watch it get stolen tonight.

Holy loving poo poo put your ratty loving dog on a leash people. I don't appreciate having to do a emergency swerve when your hopped up Chihuahua decides it can take on a motorbike.

Chihuahuas aren't dogs. They're an embodiment of poor decisions, including everything which lead up to becoming the kind of person who buys a chihuahua.

after you hit the dog, go back as there may be a law on the books in your state requiring you to report it to the animals owner, then hit the owner

Interesting almost accident I saw today which seems all the more relevant after watching the newest no prisoners. I'm waiting to turn left onto the freeway, Prius in front of me is waiting too, Prius gets impatient and turns left right in front of a 4runner that's going fast and they narrowly avoid an accident. I usually have an exit plan, but I realized when it happened if the 4runner hit the Prius or swerved towards me to avoid the Prius, I was totally hosed. I guess I should have been hanging out more towards the right edge of the lane, but I wasn't expecting the Prius to go for it because it was such a dumb call, so I was taken completely off guard. I guess some times you're hosed and it's just going to suck?

When I'm stopped, I try to position myself to one side of the lane so that I can scoot forwards into the gap between cars if I need to, yeah. But sometimes poo poo just happens and it's a roll of the dice, and the only thing you can do is hope to notice it happening while there's still enough time to react. Always keep your eyes open.

First time off road, I dump the DR on an uphill. Kinda wheelie then it falls on the left side. Now oil is leaking out of the left side. Haven't had a moment to check it, but at least I got it home. Hoping the hit just crumbled part of the big seal on that side, and that I wont find a big crack when I remove the skid plate. gently caress my life. edit: I guess it took a hit on the left side, crumbling the old gasket enough for it to blow out when I tried to cruise at 105 on the way home.

Gasket? It's fine. Better to toy in the garage with the DR than with the 690 anyways.

Yeah, I wanted to safety wire the nuetral sending unit anyway, so I might as well do that and both gaskets while I have the oil drained. I guess I should count my blessings that my backup bike for the ride tomorrow is a 690.

Has anyone ever removed/replaced the rear wheel on the 690 SMC? Why would they do it that way. Why would anyone think that was how you would do something that has been done a million times better on a million other bikes. Why?!!! This is the biggest "gently caress you" I've seen from engineers since the Mazdaspeed3 front brakes. What the loving gently caress. This is some Saw grade poo poo, crossed with a chinese puzzle box. Why do I need a god damned punch to punch the pins out of the brake pads just so that I can get the bolt back in on the calliper. Why do I have to do any of this. If you get a flat on the side of the road on this, you better hope you are next to a SNAP-On distributer. Or you are hosed.

Oh no, I'm doing it the correct easiest way. The way everyone has to do it. It's convoluted and terrible and it literally just took me an hour to get the rear wheel back on. Obviously it will be faster next time now that I know the special ktm hellbox way to do things.

You have to punch the pins out to replace the pads, but you definitely shouldn't have to remove the pads from the caliper to get it back over the rotor and bolted onto the carrier. Take off the chain guard, angle the wheel a bit to clear the caliper. I found a post on some UK forums where a guy says to take the pins out of the pads, but that seems excessive. here we go: quote:Remove the brake line from that plastic clip on the swingarm
