At the suggestion and request of Spyder84 (Erik Rodriguez), we are putting together a Tech Day to help with basic maintenance and learning more about your bike. For back ground Erik started a thread which led to this event getting formed.
In the interest of organization, I am starting this new thread that is specific to the March 24th event. Items not related the 24th event should continue in Erik's thread.
We have a month until Blackhawk, the first midwest NESBA date. I would suggest also perhaps doing a list of the types of work to be done and perhaps what is needed. This event is for Track AND Street bikes.
Examples:
Change Oil & Filter - bring oil & filter
Change & Balance Tires - bring fresh rubber
Chain Adjustment
Change Brake Pads - bring new brake pads
Change/Bleed Brake Fluid - bring high quality replacement brake fluid
Change Brake lines - bring lines, banjo bolts, and fluids
Adjust / Prep Chain
520 Conversion - Bring 520 chain, and 520 front/rear sprockets
Suspension Set-Up - Baseline Sag, etc...
Fiberglass Work - Bring fiberglass and the activator (and plastics spoons/popsickle sticks/tongue depressors)
Body work - bondo, etc... and sanding disks
Paint prep - above, plus appropriate sand paper
Safety wiring your bike
Track Prep bike
Practice Tech run a bike for the track
Plus whatever simple items folks can think of that need to be done for the season. (track or street)
Outside the house of course, assuming that weather allows. Feel free to come even if you are not in need of work, just to meet and perhaps help some of your fellow CLSBers!

We can test-tech any bikes that will be going to the track as well. This event is for street and/or track bikes.
Please post up additions and subtractions to this list as I know that you may want more done, or you may or may not be able to make the event. I did not include some of you since I wasn't sure if you were going to this date/event or another. Please jsut post up if I should add, subtract or change anything or anyone.
PLEASE NOTE: Each person bringing a bike is responsible for his/her damages/improper servicing that could result in an injury. For liability purposes, work will be done by the bike owners, and they solely will be responsible for their own bikes.
Addition: Tire Changing Tutorials using my Tire Changer
May want to watch a couple of these before coming over. Feel free to watch these videos so that you are ready to change and balance your own tires:
You'll love how fast and easy it is. Of course... here it is in 21 seconds to change a tire!
