Maxmoto,

CJRACER lives about 90 or so minutes north of downtown - west and little south of Milwaukee.

He's hosting a 950 tech day this weekend. If you are free, send him a message and see if there is room for one more.

If you need a WP kit immediately, I've got one in my garage. I'm in Lake County. You can just give me yours when it comes in.

I'm going to be downtown on Friday (N. Michigan Ave.) and in Evanston on Saturday if you need the kit. Shoot me an IM if you do.

Cheers,

Monty "Dave"

Hi Max,

If you're up for a short ride, I still have room if you can swing up. I have room to crash over Fri and Sat night. I replaced my pump parts earlier this year in Feb. The bearings on mine were fine at 26,000 miles so I just left them in and replaced the shaft and seals. I do have a complete kit here if need be. Just need some coolant of your choice.

Are you loosing a lot of water, what are your concerns about riding it?

Offer is out there, PM me for details if interested.

Maxmoto · 10-23-2008, 09:03 PM

Not losing so much water I have some oil mixed into coolant so I'm assuming eventually some water would be mixin into oil as well. I know this engines got complex high pressure oil systems(whatever is that mean) so I thought ridin hundred plus miles may not be a good idea.
By the way thank you so much for warm welcome I havent been around ADV riders over 3 years now it feels good to remember this is still a great community

You really need to getup to cj's. This timing is ideal, and the event will be a wealth of lc8 knowledge.
