I have two sizes(they make many sizes) of bags to choose from, a 27L and the infamous steamer trunk expandable to 60L that I had at SSR 22”. I might as well wore the cone of shame until I it came in handy on a validating tech sessions beer run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could also put beer in there. Ok, I'm being a snob, but hey, I live in Germany... Shortly after I bought my first Kawasaki 1000 GTR, I went shopping with it. That taught me the value of the panniers on that bike. I loaded up 6 bottles of beer (half-litre, as they generally are in Germany...), two deep-frozen pizzas, and a bottle of white wine for the missus. In one of the panniers. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Audiomick, that was a late run to the gas station for beer run. Mind you that any real selection is 45 minute ride from Tellico Plains. Since it was happy hour, I choose Corona as the most premium found in that Shell gas station “beer walk-in cooler”. I.E. selection was nada, zilch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes one just hast to make do with what one can get. 12 hours ago, docc said: @audiomick now has a formal invitation to the various South'n SpineRaids. Well I do fell honoured. Unlikely that a GTR 1000 will play a part though. I crashed the first one, and am trying to sell the one I have now. The V11 has ursurped the GTRs position. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Swanson Posted February 27 Report Share Posted February 27 Readying the V11 for brake fluid flush. The clutch bleeder is always the fun part. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate bleeding brakes and clutch. Even with an Ezibleeder kit I can’t seem to get all the air out. Usually end up with the brake lever spongier than the wife’s home made cakes 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footgoose Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I have never had a problem bleeding any hydraulic lines on anything that was not malfunctioning or leaking in some way. While doing the job I try to keep my head wrapped around the physics of it and employ consistency and patience. I'm not afraid to use a LOT of fluid to insure a fully refreshed system. Even (and especially) the clutch. Yes I over-do it. I over-do most jobs, it makes me calm, what can I say? I was educated working on vintage bikes with water in reservoirs and mashed potatoes in the calipers. I tried a vacuum bleeder on my BMW that had an ABS system. Having to bleed the abs unit and the slaves I figured I needed it. I ended up trashing the vacuum kit and finished the traditional way. The clutch presents a challenge because of less "push back" or resistance. It takes more patience and finesse. Get comfortable and watch the tube. It's a different flow. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
