    Valve cover leak, looking for some help in northern Colorado

    Well after a break from being able to work on the bike. I finally was able to finish the valve check/adjustment. Must say not the most fun. Got reall good on removing and installing the cams when trying to get the clearance where I wanted them.

    Valve cover leak, looking for some help in northern Colorado

    The first valve adjustment was at 22,000 and they were in spec according to the dealership. Now the bike has 63,000. Thanks for the idea to get them all in the middle. All the intake are right at the tight side.

    Valve cover leak, looking for some help in northern Colorado

    Finally was able to get in and check the clearance on the valves. All the intake are good, .15-.18. The exhaust on the other hand are out on #2 and #3. #2 is .13 and .15, #3 is .15 and .20. Guess I will be doing an adjustment on the exhaust valves.

    Dog Angel Waits

    That was great. You should really read The art of racing in the rain. It is a dogs perspective on his life.

    Eastern Beaver Fuse panels

    There was a post years ago about removing all the plastic in the area to open it up for storage. I cut it out then had a local shop make the box. I was able to put the ecu under it. It has been a great place to store stuff.
