Note to Self....

Post by jkevinlilly »

When working on a GT750 in your dining room, and getting it to the point where you are confident it will start as soon as you hit the starter button, DO NOT TOUCH THAT BUTTON!!!! Push it out on the porch first.


It is amazing how fast a diningroom/kitchen area can fill with blue smoke. :shock: :shock: :shock:

I had to laugh when I read this - I'm still in s**t from a couple of years ago when I did something very similar. Fired it up for the first time in the attached garage with the door into the house still open. I was focused on the fact that it had started and it sounded great :D - then I could hear the screaming ................. :oops:

I never had the whole bike in the house, but have had lots of parts in the dining room and kitchen! I still get reminded about the time the wife came home from work one night in Feb. (it gets cold here in Canada in Feb.!) and the oven was on. She thought I had started dinner! To her surprise, I hadn't! I was heating up some parts so that I could paint them!!

Oven is also good for heating up boots so the beeswax really soaks in. Note to self, set timer.
