Quick Recovery, Tapping
I dug into my T4 yesterday to figure out why the suspension was sticking after I reassembled it. Luckily before I did I thought about one portion of the repair video I watched where they mentioned a detail that I did not really pay attention to. When I checked that detail I immediately found the problem. I was fortunate that to correct it I only had to take the pedals off so it was fixed in less than 15 minutes. After re pressurizing the shock a quick road test verified I once again had working suspension.
Late morning I headed out to do a range test on the V13. As usual I headed towards Ave Maria. What was not usual was a tapping sound I started to hear on the ride back. There have been several reports of this wheel having issues with the motor bolts coming loose and eventually shearing so that immediately went through my head. I kept my speed down the ride back, hoping nothing catastrophic happened along the way. Now the wheel is in the pits until I get direction from the dealer as far as what they want me to do. I already investigated what is involved in pulling the motor from this wheel, I could do it if need be.
The rest of my day was uneventful as I binged a few more Jack Ryan episodes. I now finished season two and have moved on to season 3. I spent some time as well thinking about the reality shift that is coming my way. In three weeks I’ll be closing on my new house and a little more than a month from now I will be closing on the sale of mine. It seems a bit surreal. I already have a lot of stuff packed from the painting project but I have not decided when I want to start packing what remains, or how I want to tackle the move in general logistically. I do need to get a quote from a moving company to see how painful that option might be.
