Macguiver tips & tricks
« on: February 21, 2012, 09:52:10 PM »
Macguiver and I were  :cowpoop: about our favorite moments and we thought you bricKheads would get a kick out of them. I have to run out and change 3 sets of tires right now but I'll be back shortly to mention my escapades.



for now:

The springs from a ball point pen make excellent spring replacements for most handlebar control,rocker switches and throttle tube retrievers.

Paracord works great as a clutch pull when your clutch cables goes.

The potassium in a potato can seal small hairline cracks for a short length of time. cracked hoses, e.t.c. I wouldn't use it for any high stress area though but it's one of those things thats good to know just in case.

Dead battery? no one around? have tylenol? crush it and put sprinkle it on your positive battery terminal, drip some coke on it and let it fizzle. wait 60 seconds. Start the bike (I have to double check if it was actually tylenol or some other common pill but I have heard it a few times but never tried it myself)

Broke the lower shock mount off of my swing arm so I had to convert her to a "hard tail"

Rock and a few zip ties and she was rolling again...
