Victorious warriors win get-go as well as and so boot the bucket to war, piece defeated warriors boot the bucket to nation of war get-go as well as and so essay to win. -Sun Tzu
As the fourth dimension earlier the WERA Grand National Finals shortens, preparations accomplish a near fever pitch. The FZR as well as EX direct maintain been getting the fine molar comb treatment. Valve clearances are checked, oil, coolant as well as brake fluid changed, calipers scrubbed clean, chains cleaned, lubed as well as adjusted, whatever bolt non safety-wired is checked for proper torque. A modest flashlight is used for inspecting nighttime crevices that mightiness never encounter the low-cal of day, but could survive hiding an crude oil leak.
Both Fox Twin-Clicker remote reservoir stupor absorbers direct maintain been sent to Thor's Evolution Suspension (one of our sponsors) for refreshing.
Thor re-built the EX stupor previously, but has non worked on the FZR, which the previous possessor told me was rebuilt less than x races agone past times a "reputable" interruption store who volition rest nameless. When Thor got the stupor apart he discovered that the stupor had been poorly rebuilt, the seal caput bearing had been installed incorrectly, damaging the PTFE coating on the bearing. It kills me a big refer store tin sack plough out that form of shit run on items racers are trusting alongside their lives.
This is 1 of the reasons I prefer to bargain alongside Thor, he is a 1 homo show. I know the guy I am handing my materials to is the 1 who volition survive doing the work, non pawned off on Corey, the ham-fisted apprentice tweaked out on also many Red Bulls swinging a 5 pound mallet alongside 1 hand, vice grips inwards the other, as well as prison theater cellular telephone band inwards the other texting his knocked upwardly girlfriend.
Racing teaches us that a contest machine is the total non solely of its parts, but also the task that goes into making those parts run together as well as continue them inwards harmony. It's 1 business office routine maintenance, 2 parts massaging as well as finessing as well as the balance intuition guided past times years of experience. A motorbike cared for thusly becomes a weapon. A weapon to win the war.
