I few K Kronies are requiring a workshop day. Due to Matt and Gary going on a Kurfari in early August I thought probably late August and on a Sunday. Please let me know what jobs you require doing and if you are attending?
Regards Martin.

 Geez what sort of workshop is this when people are getting their shaft greased  ???

Matt are you volunteering to grease Bruce's shaft. He will be supplying his own grease.  Due to you having to work in order to support SSD and I I've made it on a Sunday and at the end of August. Will you be attending?
Regards Martin.

Thanks Martin.

I will be attending. Thinking about an instrument cluster overhaul - GPI and Clock displays bleeding, sticky speedo and clunky tripmeter gears, also a good clean up as hasnt been opened since I've had it - 18yrs.

Might take me some time to gather parts, so may not be ready for the day.

Happy to assist others as required.

Cheers

Mick

Mick I have the parts.
Regards Martin.

Goodo. See you then if not before. We'll work something out re parts.

Cheers

Mick

Of course Martin has the parts . . . He could jolly near build another K bike with all the parts he has.

That's them Northerners, Matt.  Theys always was a bit funny.  

You're safe with us Southerners in the chain gang.  Weez just like to get lubricated.  

Due to Matts busy schedule he is unable to attend any of the proposed dates. So at this stage it is planned for the 28th of August. I'm currently awaiting speedo gears which should hopefully be here by the 28th. Proposed works are two speedo overhauls and a driveshaft spline check and grease. If any other Kronies require work or are attending please let me know so Bruce's lovely  wife and my lovely wife can work out the food. Attendees at this stage Dan, Mick, SSD, Bruce, Vic.
Regards Martin.

Hi Guys

I will be there to assist with anything i can. 

If we have time i too could do with a spot of grease in the tail section.

Shit Martin.   Half an hour.   That would be the shortest workshop day ever.   I'd be luck to get mine on the main stand and the back wheel off in that time and the workshop is over ????      

 Start time.

Sorry, I'm out now.
My daughter is sick, so I'm looking after my grandson for the weekend, so she can get some rest.

Jamie, i'll bring the large Allen Key (1/2" Drive) and the large socket required to remove the Paralever Final Drive.

We had another successful workshop day with 10 bricks in attendance with  an interesting start. I received a call off Jamie saying he had broken down about a Km short of my place. He said it looked like the fuel pump. As my bike was blocked in chucked some jumper wires, multimeter and a circuit tester and ran out. After a bit of probing and a call out for a workshop manual it was deemed that there was no power between the fuse and the pump connector. A jumper wire allowed it to be ridden to my place. Jamie will fill in on what happened next along with the others posting what work they had done. Everybody happy with the work accomplished.
Regards Martin.

Thanks again Martin for yours and Anne's hosting today for another successful workshop day.    It was a great turn out - all of banter, fun and good food.    Thanks once again.

Had a look on Gumtree and Ebay to try to find that final drive.   Cant see it anywhere. 

You may have to guide me in regards to me putting a NEW post on the Forum asking if anyone in Aust has one or knows of someone that may have one.

Regards Bruce

It looks like it's gone or he's pulled the listing. I'll PM you his number.
Regards Martin.

Many thanks again for hosting Martin and for having available all the 'bits and pieces' that make working on our K's that bit easier.

The knowledge and willingness to help in this group is outstanding. I think in the 5 hrs or so, the group completed 2 final drive lubes and diagnosis, 2 Instrument panel dismantles and overhauls, and an unexpected clutch cable/switch repair. As well Martin squeezed in a roadside fuel electrics diagnosis and repair.

Most jobs were done at least twice (just to make sure). All work was scrutinised, critiqued by the elders and where appropriate, public humiliation and ridicule were used as effective teaching techniques. The healthy dose of questionable humour and the outstanding morning tea made for a most enjoyable morning.

As far as I know all bricks were able to leave in working order, so a good result.

See you on the next one.

Many thanks to the dynamic "A-team" duo catering for the mob, the sausages & rolls were smashed

As previously posted by our resident serial pest Mick I agree, always satisfying when all the bricks arrive & depart in one piece & running.

Any odometer repairs carried out have the usual "3KM/3min-whatever comes first" warranty, now expired

Well done & thanks to our esteemed leader/therapist Martin for organising the day & keeping the unruly attendees under strict control, glad he enjoyed hearing Jamie's RS "unrestricted" exhaust for a very short period...sounded mean

Big thanks to Martin, Ann & Annie for providing great food and the venue, it was another successful Service Day for the Kweensland K100 Forum members. A welcome to Geoff on his maiden event with the forum group of mis-fits.
