Definitely! I'm assuming that a new head gasket was ordered today. With any luck, it should arrive late this week, but I'm not holding my breath... New coolant pump arrived last week, and I don't know whether the radiator cap has been replaced, modified, or ??? The bike has been at PI since...
Mine's a bit earlier US -- 0140, and it's apart and waiting for parts at the dealer's on a warranty claim, thanks to the dastardly clamps / hoses coolant leak. At least, it's still winter-like in SoCal; I have a trip to Oregon scheduled in June, and want to ride it mercilessly to flush out any...
Mr. Cameron's writings approach art! While I never pretended to be a physics/mechanics major, he somehow gets through enough for me to believe that I can approach understanding...:cool:
I had her out last Wednesday. Angeles Crest Hwy opened up to its normal closed-for-the-Winter spot, Islip Saddle. I pulled in at my favorite stop just above the saddle, and a friend I hadn't seen in over a year showed up 5min later. We had our lunch and caught up with each other for another 2...
Todd, I'll get a neighbor to take one on my phone. If it's dry here tomorrow, I'm gonna fill up the tank, try to heat up the tires, and become a neighborhood nuisance for a few minutes!
I found a used Kendon single-rail last August, for my track bike. Hauled my Stelvio down to Guzzitech Fab & Service yesterday, and it held the beast with no issues. However, I'm too old & weak to get THAT bike up the ramp by myself :sweating:
Bob, if nobody else has told you, the road has been dry since last Wednesday, and I'm guessing that it'll be dry after yesterday's rain by tomorrow. BTW, Newcomb's Ranch is open again on Mondays, starting today.
I was stupid enough to go up Sunday morning, and did a very slow (<10mph) high-side in the Shadies. Bruised the lowest left rib and punched a hole in the bottom of the left valve cover. Lucky for me, I was holding up an acquaintance who was driving; he helped me pick up the Stelvio and drove...
It's a relative piece-of-cake (at least I've replaced bulbs in my 09 many times). You should see the leads and plugs forward of and underneath the dash. Just get your hand under the dash, pull the (female) plug back towards you, then remove the rubber boot, and then give a counter-clockwise...
Back atcha Todd! And I hope you've recovered from the issues w/your back. I found out yesterday that the rock I'd hit in mid-October actually caused an L-3 fracture. I'll be in the hospital for a day for kyphoplasty; in the meantime, Norco has become my so-called friend!
I have a 73k+mi '09 Stelvio, which has never guzzled any oil either. Still have the flat tappets; 2 left exhaust tappets & cam replaced almost exactly 3 years ago. It's been running great!
No real excuses for being late to this party, 'cause I've been having lots of fun riding this, my other...
Sorry, been lazy in response... Got the medium-sized (up to 2.25") expander at Harbor Freight 2 weeks ago, and it did the job. Bike's been back in business since then.
Thanks for all the suggestions! Right tool for the job, etc...
