[QUOTE="blassoff, post: 1132464, member: 18977"] 15 miles west of Philadelphia PA. I have a 2005 FJR with 45,000 miles, and I've yet to have a valve check done. I'm starting to get nervous and suspect it's time. Problem is I'm too lazy to trailer the bike to a shop. The only shop I really trust is an hour away and I can't ride there (of course I can ride there but the engine is supported to be stone cold before you do the valve check). So either I ride over at 3 am, sleep in the parking lot and wait for them to open, or do the work myself. I've done all the other maintenance on the bike myself (including tire changes), but I'm nervous as hell popping the valve cover. So what I'm proposing is a tech session. Anybody need to change tires, come on by, I have a changer and balancer. Hell, I have the tools for the valve check, I just want someone more knowledgable then me to walk through the process. Also, anybody who wants to watch and ask questions is invited. I can supply the garage space, multiple lift options, and lighting. You'll need to bring your own tools, fluids, and parts. You can even have parts shipped here, they'll be waiting for you. Anybody interested, let's talk! I'm thinking one Saturday or Sunday in April. Baz [/QUOTE]
