    Birfield greaser

    I hate greasing the Birfs on our 450. It's not hard to do, just time consuming and hand cramping pumping the grease gun. Last time the birfs looked somewhat dry... Soo, I came up with my own air assisted birf greasing tool.:idea: It consists of an old 2" mountain bike inner tube, a tube of...

    Passenger rear door worked intermittantly -fixed!

    Our 97 LX passenger rear door had been acting up. I mean that the door wouldn't operate, like it was locked all the time even though the indicator inside said it was unlocked. "unlocking" it manually or with the electric control panel switch didn't matter. I would work, then not work, then...
