Oberon_012.jpg
611 viewsThe nice thing with the titanium "colored" Oberon is that its coloration is close to that of the stock unit and thus doesn't stand out.Jan 30, 2011

624 viewsUse an 8mm open-ended wrench to crack open the bleeder nipple when bleeding the clutch slave. I used clear tubing, bungeed to the kick-stand, and let it drain into a glass container. I bled my system until fresh fluid appeared. Remember to keep an eye on the reservoir! Oh yeah, you no longer need the plastic wrap cover. When done, make sure the reservoir is about 3/4 full, then insert the rubber boot and secure the cap.Jan 30, 2011

612 viewsOnce the clutch slave is bolted down (10 ft-lbs) pre-fill with DOT-4 brake fluid. I used a syringe and found 6cc to be enough to reach the bottom of the threads. Next, remove the banjo fitting from the stock unit and put it on the new one, torquing it down to 23 ft-lbs.Jan 30, 2011

604 viewsThe stock clutch slave removed. Look at all that black crud! Give the area a good wipe down with a clean rag. Smear grease on the clutch push-rod if you wiped any off. I smeared white lithium grease on the mating surface of my Oberon, mimicking the stock application.Jan 30, 2011

561 viewsRemove the sprocket cover, only two bolts attach it to the frame. All of the Allen head bolts being removed use the 5mm size. Next, use a 12mm wrench to break the banjo fitting free, then gently tighten it back a little bit to keep it from leaking. This will make it easier to remove it once the stock clutch slave is off the bike.Jan 30, 2011

348 viewsIn case you drop the parts, here's how the bits go together. The washer goes on the screw and then the screw goes into the lever and the bushing. The flat side of the bushing faces the thumb pad.Jan 17, 2011

Turn signal switch354 viewsAll apart. Use white lithium on the left part of the switch, where the ball bearing rubs against the left wall. Use dielectric grease everywhere else.Jan 17, 2011

329 viewsWhen putting the female part of the switch onto the male part, make sure the sliding contact doesn't catch on the electrical pads on the female piece. Use a scribe or small, flat screwdriver blade to hold it down as you slide the female part on.Jan 17, 2011

303 viewsNotes: The instructions say to clean the area with brake cleaner and scuff the area. Because I'm using the TankSlapper to protect my tank I didn't do either but I did clean the area on the TankSlapper well.Jan 01, 2011

323 viewsHow it looks on the bike. Not as pretty as I had hoped but, man, does it work!Jan 01, 2011
tank_grip_006.jpg
323 viewsHere's the StompGrip on the tank. The adhesive backing is 3M and it is sticky! So get everything lined up, triple checked, then peel the backing off. Place the StompGrip inbetween the marks and get it right the first time because the stuff is STICKY!Jan 01, 2011
