First ride of the Season!!!!

[safecracker]

Started working on the Spyder on Friday night at 6:00 pm. Needed to replace the spark plugs and grease the a arms. Took 10 minutes to change the rear spark plug and 6 hours to change the front spark plug. Plugs had 26,000 miles on them. The electrodes were worn a little, front was burning a little hotter than the rear plug. I ended up removing the right sub frame. The hardest part I had was the manifold screws, Tight working space. Had both plugs changed out and fresh ones installed by 9:00 pm. Called it a night. Started working on the Spyder at 7:00 am. Worked till 9:30, I had to do a service call. Started again at 2:00 pm. Finished at 3:00 pm. Took it for a 6 mile run and it ran really good on old gas. I'm glad I did this, but what a pain in the arse. :sour: Went for a 30 mile ride today. I was grinning from ear to ear. :yes::yes::yes:

Just want to say hi! We just moved to the Lincoln area from Tampa. Looking forward to riding the beautiful Maine roads. I changed the plugs and wires a couple of weeks ago as it was running on one cylinder. Not my favorite job, but got through it okay. Take care..... Art
