archeryguy Posted March 26, 2012 #1 Posted March 26, 2012 Due to my work schedule I can never seem to get off work to attend "maintenace days", therefore this past weekend I relied on the forum and some general mechanical "know how" to do it myself. Most of the maintenance items are no big deal for most of you but a couple of things I completed was a personal accomplishment for me. The list of things completed: New tires front and back (E3's) mounted and balanced, brakes checked, engine oil and filter changed, rear hub and gears greased and oil changed. I would like to check my carbs and sync them and check/lub the steering head if need but goes beyond my comfort zone. Hopefully I can find some members close to central Arkansas that can help me with these things. I know I saved some $'s and I now feel less dependant on a dealer. Thanks to all who have posted pictures and descriptions it has been a HUGE HELP !!!!!!!!!!!
utadventure Posted March 26, 2012 #2 Posted March 26, 2012 Tony- If you don't find someone close to help with the carb sync. Spend the money and order a sync tool from Morgan. You'll make your money back over paying a dealer in doing it yourself the second time (maybe the first) you use. I was hesitant to do it too. But you've done more on your bike than I had on mine. The 1st Gens are easy to do....connect four hoses, set the idle up, adjust the three sync screw, reset the idle to spec ..... go RIDE!! Lots of us to help walk you through it the first time. Dave
