When You drop Your bike off for repair, do You really get to see what goes on from start to finish?
The answer for most people is no. There are major concerns involved, such as liability insurance for
the repair center and OSHA rules and regulations. It might be a lot of red tape, but when it comes down
to keeping the customer safe, and out of the way, very few, get the chance to see how labor intensive
some repairs can be.
This should be a good look, at what goes on, when You leave Your ride, for whatever type of
work that needs to be done .
In this case, it's not Your typical repair, but if You ever had a head gasket blow, You maybe looking
at what You are spending Your money on. The first photo You see is a motorcycle that is ready to be
worked on.
To get at the problem, the gas tank is removed, the speedometer and all brake and clutch cables
are cleared to give the mechanic better access. The fuel injection or carburetor, is removed, next the
valve assembly is dismantled, and finally You get to the head gasket , where Your problem just might
be.
Then the process begins in reverse, reassemble the heads with all new gaskets, includeing the
rocker box. With the replacement of the fuel system and cables that were cleared, the repair is
complete. This is a look at what a repair looks like, should, You be one of thoes who needs some
serious work done.
