BMW Airhead Tech Day
Airheads Tech day and Chile meet, 20 April 2013 in Centennial CO.
Bring your old BMW Airhead to the Denver Colorado Airhead Tech Day and Chile-Meat, 20 April 2013. We have hosted a Tech Day the last couple of years so let’s do it again!
The fun starts at 0900hrs and available for general use will be a double garage and large area of concrete driveway. Spring tune ups and oil changes as well as setting valves, spark plug changes, timing, carburetor synchronizing, fluid and filter replacements, exhaust nut service as well as anything else you'd like to try. We will be able to collect your used oil for proper disposal. We've got molly grease if you want to do a spline lube.
Tools on hand include a steering head wrench, hand tools, an exhaust nut wrench, timing lamp, torque wrenches, swing arm bearing puller, a small air compressor, an airhead manometer as well as a colormetric device, a multi-meter, grease, and anything else that you would like to bring along yourself. There will also be a Clymer’s Manual and a Haynes booklet on hand for reference and online access if you want to visit Snowbum’s or Dwayne’s sites.
Shutdown will be at 5:00PM sharp. If you'd like to try something ambitious please let us know in advance. If you would like to offer some particular expertise to the others, let us know that too! Parts, oil and oil filters and any tools you might need beyond those already mentioned are up to you. If there is something nifty you’d like to share – Bring it!
This year, Denver based Euro Moto Electric (EME) has donated some very nice swag for the give away… first come first served!
We'll have Texas style Chile, some sodas and water available. Donations for anything other than that can be taken on the spot.

I have attended Richard's tech days and the camaraderie one experiences, the great chile Richard puts together, and sharing knowledge makes for a great day! Come out and get to know fellow Airhead riders and re-acquaint yourself with others!
Unfortunately, as this tech day is happening, I'll be enroute to Alaska on my 2011 URAL Patrol Sidecar Rig and won't be able to attend.
Ride Safe. Ride Aware.
