    Lost about 10 HP after valve check?

    Yes, if your going to pull the chain cover, it would be easy to hold the rear chain guide in place with something.....that would definitely be the easy and safe way to just change the tensioner, good idea!!

    Lost about 10 HP after valve check?

    I didn't have to make any adjustments either, they were all fine. I just replaced the tensioner for preventative maintenance. I pulled it out and put the new one in without moving anything. Evidently the slack drooped under the crank sprocket and grabed the next tooth when I installed the new...

    Lost about 10 HP after valve check?

    BUT I DON'T WANT THE TIMING TO BE OFF!! Too bad..... it was. I took it back down tonight and it damn sure did move. I wouldn't have dreamed that carefully switching the tensioner would let enough slack in it to jump....but there's plenty!! It's amazing how good it runs like that, It still ran...

    Lost about 10 HP after valve check?

    I checked my valves a few weeks ago, (25k) they were all perfect so I just replaced the chain tensioner and thermostat while I was there. It all went together perfect, ran out good....just not great like before. It starts fine, runs smooth, no miss or hesitation, it just seems to have lost some...

    Entymotic Ear Plugs, ER6i

    I've had mine for 6 months now, they sound great!! The best part is the isolation, around 34db if memory serves. I tried 5-6 other cheaper pairs....either had crapy sound, poor fit, or were to big. These are juuuuuuust right!!!! I didn't get them from buy.com, but I have bought other stuff from...

    Kudos To Klaus

    I had to do some adjustment to the top of my shock after I got it. He had me set the fixed pre-load stiffer than the factory setting. There were a few guys who frowned on that as a cure, and it certainly may not apply in your case, but it worked great on mine. he was working on the assumption it...

    No Sale

    Hey Trip, how've you been? You might just hang onto that 05 for a bit. The way you ride, I'd of thought you would have liked it better, much sportier, quicker, more nimble than the 06. I did like the change in the windshield. That was a vast improvement, the stocker blocks more air better than...

    Wilbers Rear HARD Preload Adjustment

    I did, it is...I'm going to take it back off and loosen it 1 turn (1.5 mm), that should be about right. It's just a little to stiff like this. Idealy it'll ride just right with 0 adjustable preload and still good fully loaded with all 22 clicks. They may just have not had it adjusted perfect, I...

    Wilbers Rear HARD Preload Adjustment

    Well I got to set the hard pre-load today, it wasn't too bad...once I found a spring compressor small enough for this spring. I never could find a spanner wrench to fit the top lock nut but the BIG channel locks took it off easily with very little marring of the lock ring. I had to adjust it 4.5...
