Help the VULCAN DAY!

[GPTECHMAN]

I really need to get that fricking blown tire off of the vulcan and put a new one on. Can someone please help me. I dont have a rearstand(Deno's using it) but even if I did I dont think that it would fit my swingarm. Its a belt drive and I have never taken it off. It heavy as heck and Im aneed some wood blocks of jackstands...or something. Can I get a few of you cats to help me?

Let me know I also need to change the sparks and clean out the air filter, which I haven't done before on this bike....chime in if you can.............

[CjrJAM]

I got a rear stand that can go on the swingarm if needed. Just holla and you can get it.

[Bryant]

Sean, does your bike have a centerstand by any chance? Cuz if it does, we can rig up the bike to keep the rear wheel off the ground so we can get that thing swapped out.

[TreAdidas]

Geeze man you still don't have that thing fixed!?!?! LAME LAME LAME

[GPTECHMAN]

no centerstand...Ceez yeah I'd love to pick that up from ya....holla

How bout this weekend? Post directions and stuff you need.

[GPTECHMAN]

I can PM directions to whoever would like to help...I need something to hold up the bike, like wood blocks or jack stands...

I also dont know if I need carbuerator work, air filter, fuel filter, or sparks...but essentially I just need something to lift my bike off the ground so I can get at the rear wheel. Maybe a rear stand can work, but mine is currently in use at Deno's...

[speedster1219]

i have a rear stand and jacks if you need..but dont keep them for too long.....im free pretty much most of the day...monay through sat...cept this weekend....

[GPTECHMAN]

yeah thats cool. It shouldnt be too long. well I dont want it to take long. I should be able to get it done in a few hours...but you know how that goes

[Philo]

I have an adjustable spooled/swingarm rear stand and a motorcycle lift if you need them. You can borrow the stand for the day, or the lift for as long as you need it. As long as the bottom of the bike is flat (no 4-1 below frame tube) the jack will work fine.

[GPTECHMAN]

dope lemme check...its not four into one,cause its just a parallel twin, but that would be great

[pulse]

vulcans suck:-p

[GPTECHMAN]

dont hate...participate!

[pulse]

im already tyroing to fix a bike so someone here can ride it:cool:

[GPTECHMAN]

whatchu talking about willis
are you talking about the R6?

[CjrJAM]

Is this ever going to happen? Will the extinct Vulcan ever see the road again?

[GPTECHMAN]

yep....actually stroble helped me out today..the tire is in the shop right now, and it will be mounted tomorrow
I am looking for a tool to take a big C clamp off, does anyone have one?

A C clamp? I have one....
how'd the stand work?

[pulse]

fix that bike already :rolleyes:

[GPTECHMAN]

stand was cool, but definitely needed strobles help to manuver the bike on the stand...I need a big C clamp removal tool...I think...hopefully stroble can chime in... he knows

[pulse]

i have a bat you can use and a hammer:rockon: :whistle:

[CjrJAM]

Sounds like you need a C clamp to compress the calipers perhaps? :errf:

[CjrJAM]

There you go and I can also get a lighter and some fluid:-p

[GPTECHMAN]

I thought there was this tool, that when you squeeze it it would push the two sides of the c clamp apart?
maybe it isnt a c clamp and Im naming it wrong?

[pulse]

haha, that will help the vulcan:clap: :clap:

[GPTECHMAN]

OK vulcan wont start....dammit...let it sit waaay too long with out starting it, and right now I can push start it...its kicking, but I started draining the battery by trying to start it so much. does anyone have a charger i can use? jared? can I pick yours up today?

[deno]

GP- I'll be home until around 2:30 if you want to roll by

[shichyea]

Actually it's like a c clip, not a clamp.

I remember using a thing that looks like a screwdriver the the end is pointed and a little curled. You stick the point in the clip, twist it, and it pops out. I've also seen something resembling pliers do the trick too...

but if we can't find either, like Jared said, a hammer and small flathead driver. (oh and safety googles haha)

[shichyea]

GP what time do you get off work today?

[GPTECHMAN]

um prolly around 4:30ish...deno Ill swing by during lunch time?
anyone wanna go get something to eat around lunchtime...preferably near torrey pines?

stroble Ill call you up when I know when I can leave...I still have to drive down and pick that tire up...

[deno]

[Philo]

Are you talking about a circlip or snap ring? If so, I have some circlip pliers if ya need 'em. It has inside and outside circlip attachments.

[GPTECHMAN]

where are you at...Im in torrey pines area?

[Philo]

Mira Mizzle. Don't get off work 'till 5 today. If ya wanna borrow 'em, PM me.
