Inzane X Tech Sessions

Wednesday July 14th, 2010

10:00 am: Tech. Session
Inbound Valkyrie Clinic:
Did you pick up a new rattle in Barceló? Did that whine that never bothered you at home seem to get louder the further away you got from your dealer? Bring your machine and your questions and we’ll be happy to recommend a fix, earplugs, or perhaps a bus ticket. We’ll have duct-tape!

3:00pm: Tech. Session
Tank Removal, air-filter change:
Scratching your head and saying, “My Valkyrie has an air filter?” Haven’t changed it in 50,000 miles? B We’ll pull a tank and remove/replace the air filter. We’ll also show you how to quickly test the petcock function (how/why–something you should do every time you pull the tank).

Thursday July16th, 2010

10:30am: Tech. Session
Petcocks:
No, we don’t have any chickens, and please don’t bring any. We’re talking fuel valves here; How they work, why it’s important that they do, what the insides look like, how to rebuild, and when to replace. We’ll also discuss the many, many unusual symptoms a malfunctioning petcock can cause and alternatives to the OEM.

2:30pm: Tech. Session
Older ladies just do it BETTER:
High mileage Valkyries and how to get them there. The “weak points” and less common maintenance items on a Valkyrie. U-joint/driveline, fuel system, shifter seal, power shaft seal, steering head bearings, alternators. I’ll have a bike for pointing out things and some aged parts and examples. Discussion session.

Friday July 16th 2010

4:00pm Tech. Session
Brake Pad replacement:
Learn how to change your brake pads. Arrive on time or you’ll miss this one, it really is that easy!

Saturday July17th 2010

2:00pm Tech. Session
Anatomy of a fat lady’s rear end:
IF there’s a weak spot on the Valkyrie, this is it. Serviced improperly, this piece of tail will eventually cost you a lot of money or worse, leave you standing beside the road wondering at the fickle nature of these creatures.
Join us as we explore deep in the cracks and crevasses of the Valkyrie’s nether regions. Want to know how to remove the rear wheel? Curious what all the “spline” fuss is about? Do you know about the * three * o-rings you need to replace? (your average dealer doesn’t and won’t). What “4 nuts” and why the heck should you loosen them? (your average dealer doesn’t and won’t). What about the drive shaft? You’ll hear people talk about the u-joint but what’s the other big “gotcha” hiding back there? Expect this one to run a bit long.

3:30pm Tech. Session
Round Table discussion:
Always a popular session. We’ll have some worn parts and some advice. Bring your questions and hopefully we can answer them! If we can’t at least we can argue about it!
