Today was a beautiful one here in NE Ohio. Mid 50's, bluebird skies. I'd just returned from a great Thanksgiving dinner and wonderful visit with my son, his wife, and the two granddaughters, and had to get in a ride. Thought I'd give the Bonnie a break and take the W650.
First, though, I wanted to adjust the clutch cable, and thought I'd do it at the bottom end of the cable for a change, since I've made all the adjustments for the past 4 years and 35000 miles at the lever.
Since I've spent much more time tinkering with the T100 this year, I was thinking Triumph but working on Kawasaki .... and removing an engine cover to get at the clutch adjustment, because as we all know, there's nothing under the sprocket cover but the sprocket, right? Tap, tap, tap with the rubber mallet to loosen the cover, after all the bolts were removed. Ooops! D***. That's the alternator cover, and that's a lot of oil pouring out on the garage floor!
One quart later, and staying amazingly calm under the circumstances, I had things bolted back together.
I got in a really nice ride on the little Kaw, Bonnie was upset, and the old Beemer didn't seem to care.
