    I am do for my 30k maintence, can anyone help me complete this? I don't want to go to SOG and spend $500 for something I can do myself. I believe the 30k maintence involves all fluids and filters and that is about it.

    No, I don't think it is overly difficult. Thats why I don't want to pay $500. Should be able to easily knock it out in a day. Much less with help.

    You buy beer and I'm sure you can get at least one or two people over to help. I know I would if you live close.

    Check the fuse box. Look for damaged fuses. Check belt tension also.

    I can definitely supply beer. Got a 6 of Killians, and a 6 of Homebrew sitting in the fridge just waiting.

    Anyways, just got all the parts I need, -oil and a Fujimoto Oil Drain Valve.

    Since we have Dyno Day this weekend, lets set this up for next weekend. Saturday or Sunday should be good. If you plan on coming to help, and don't know where I live, PM me and I will give you the address.

    I will bump this thread from time to time until next weekend.

    Time to revive this thread. I still need to do my Maintainence. I have been putting it off because other stuff keeps popping up. I would like to set up a date of April 1 to get all this done. All help would be greatly appreciated. I will supply beer, and pizza.

    Jason,
    Pick another weekend and I should be able to help. I am approaching 60K also and need to figure out what to do. Just paid SOG way more money than I wanted to today. Though, they did a good job and got things done in a timely fashion. Still, hoping not to need dealer services again for awhile...

    Count me in. I need to do 30K also. I already bought plugs and had SOG change my oil. My maintenance says to replace brake fluid and coolent also. I want to try and find some stainless brake lines and replace at the same time. Refill with better fluid. I have seen some peeps talkin about some blue stuff. We could do it at my house if you want to ride out to Loganville... I would have to be after the 1st for me also. I will be out of town that weekend. If anyone feels really feisty they can help me put on a gutted UP and TXS stealth back.

    Andy

    I vote for Andy's house (as it can't be more than a few miles from mine....)

    7 is better for me. Sundays are always busy. That is Easter Sunday BTW. All of you need to go see your moms and have an Easter egg hunt... I can do 6 also since it is Good Friday and I will be off.

    I will be taking a couple of weekdays off that week since my Mom will be here to watch Bailey while my Sister and Brother in Law are at Vegas, but I think most of that time will be spent house hunting for me. I can definitely do the 8th though.
