[QUOTE="Iron_Raptre, post: 1255734, member: 65614"] Hello again Forums! After nabbing a new battery for my '03, I have been told it's time for a valve adjustment... I went with the DIY over a $X00 mechanic option, but it's going to be quite a project for me. I bought it at 19k and have driven it to just over 30k, so I passed the usual adjustment milestone but I've got some time off and there's no time like the present. This thread is multi-faceted. While I'm digging around in here, depending how long it takes and what kind of parts need ordering I hope to refresh anything I can and will probably have questions. If you care to answer any or all with your opinion and suggestions I'd be very grateful! To start: 1) Removing the Pick Up Coil cover to find TDS: How is it done? Bolts are all off, but that thing is on there good. Will I need a new gasket if I take that off? 2) Is there another way to find/mark TDS and Skip the coil cover step? 3) Are there more gaskets I should consider replacing/be on the look out for while I'm in here? I haven't seen many, but I may have missed them. That's it for the moment. I've got a few weeks break but I'd love to have this done and actually ride! Hoping I won't need to order anything, but I realize this is a big project and want it done as right as I can. Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
