Wut?! You had me at "silence."

I'm hands-down the lazy half of Team Ultra.

My wife would be like, "I thought you might be hungry, so brought you a sandwich."

Yup. Blew out the rear main seal. Was a solid fix.

Depends on the gal.

What I have done is start with sucking everything out of the reservoir with a turkey baster. Dollar store turkey basters are great to have around for one time use jobs. Fill with clean fluid, then start pumping out the old. A couple feet of clear tube and whatever container works. Start with the wheel furthest away and work your way to the closest to the master. Keep your eye on the reservoir and top off between wheels. I usually go all the way around till I see nice new fluid, then go around once more to make sure I see no bubbles in the tube. Fluid is cheap. Quite simple, and costs next to nothing.

Now I could see investing in a fancy system if you did it all the time, but for the average joe....

TBT: I found this site doing a search for LED bulbs when my car was a week old. I never left.

I did pretty much the same back in '14. Before then, I had dabbled in social media but had zero interest. I've been here ever since.

lol. I guess that can come with time. I've got more projects then I know what to do with, want a couple? There is a ZX10 in my shop now that needs some quick attention. Weather has been good, I know the owner would like it back ASAP. Should be a 30 min job + about an hour or so of BS time.

Yikes! It only gets worse with age. I'm buried!

Nice bike. Sorry to hear it has an owner who doesn't work on his own stuff. What's it need?

It has the notorious ZX10/ZX14 cam chain rattle on cold start. The teeth on the auto tensioner are really coarse and it doesn't quite have enough play to ratchet out another tooth so it needs manually pushed out. It's just a bitch to get to because it is behind a coolant inlet neck.

I got some arduino projects that need worked on too I think I have 4 boards here to play with. Mostly just need to work on the sketches to get them running the way I want.
