Today I started the teardown in order to do the 6k mile valve adjustment. It's the second time I've started this, the 1st time was last fall. I ran into a fork in the road so I turned around. I'll tell you about it later. The way this is going to go from here is a "daily" recap of this valve adjust. "Daily" means I won't be wrenching every day, but every day I wrench, I'll summarize what was done on that day. In between these valve adjust updates, I'll drop in other things I've done to Gab in the past. Might be simple things like an oil change or weird things like adding a switched fuse block in the rear of the bike for an easy tie-in spot for electronic farkles. I'll let you know what I think of the things I have to buy to keep Gabbie running or things I've grabbed out of the junk drawer when I didn't have the right tool. Best of all, I'll show you when I screw something up so you can either mock my ineptitude or avoid the pitfall yourself. That fuse block may be one of those situations.
Next update... the teardown.
