[QUOTE="BikerGeek99, post: 941346, member: 14243"] Sounds to me like you're about due for a valve check, but that's a bit over my head. If you can bribe someone in to helping you with this, a couple of tips: 1. Bring / buy beer. 2. Get there Friday - ya don't wanna be tearing into the guts of a hot engine. 3. Think - and I mean REALLY think - about doing this. You are going to be a ways from home, and it is easy for things to go awry quickly. When we did mine, the exhaust cam came off the timing chain. We were lucky - Ray got the cam back onto the chain without issue, but it could have gone much, much worse VERY easily. In fact, at the last Tech Day, a valve in one of my forks broke. Luckily Sooze drove up so I had a car to ride home in. So, just in case, have a plan for alternate transportation home. 4. Buy / bring beer. [/QUOTE]
