Well after an interminable wait, many voice mails, etc. I was finally contacted, a couple weeks ago, by Mike the service manager and discussed, in depth, everything that was and wasn't done correctly. He agreed that there should be a complete refund of charges on the recheck of the cam timing...

It's interesting that Audiowise has described the power loss at above 5k RPM. To me it was low - mid rpm (2.5 - 6.5k) that the loss was most notable. Above 7 came on quite strong. Passing on a two lane, especially uphill, required a downshift, or two, to get the necessary acceleration, whereas...

Well, I'm am waiting, less and less patiently, to hear back from Dan Denchel, owner of DVPS. I spoke with him Tuesday morning when I called for Mike the service manager, who was out. Interestingly Dan was already aware that there was an issue as a friend of his had directed him to this thread...

Well, much as expected, both cams retarded one tooth. Also one exhaust valve with too little clearance. All is well now. Ride home was excellent. Took a video shot panning from the crank marker up to the cam markers. Hopefully that will be enough to convince the dealer that they had it wrong...

Not wanting to be considered a doofus among this august society, I'm taking advantage of Audiowise's most generous offer to help sort out my torque loss. Will be riding over early tomorrow to open this thing up and find what we all seem to agree is miss-timed cams. Will document, as well as...

Thank you! That's a tempting offer and I may take you up on it if we can find a mutually agreeable time. I'm a pretty good wrench, but it's nice to have some experienced eyes when tackling a job like this. Will be in touch!

I completely agree, George, just tough to find the time, especially as hot as my garage gets in this weather. Upon studying the manual, I think it's easy enough to mis-interpret the instructions/drawings that it's going to be hard to really blame them for getting it wrong. That oblique view of...

Yeah, this is really frustrating. If I had the time to work on it I'd have done so initially. Now I have to do it myself or hire someone else and hope they get it right and then document the misalignment, somehow, to convince dealer to refund at least the recheck labor (no coolant or gaskets...

I was afraid cam timing might be the consensus of opinion. This was my first thought, too, and after I insisted and subsequently paid for them to recheck the cam timing they claim it is spot on. This is a generally well thought of shop so I want to believe they did, in fact, recheck it, but I...

I'm wondering if anyone has had a similar occurrence and can give me some ideas about where to look for a fix. Took my '05 in for routine valve clearance check, had them change to the updated cam chain tensioner, new plugs, coolant flush, and throttle body sync. No change was required on valve...

I've had great success with a method learned years ago. I don't remember the source. As long as some additional bulk in the area of the break won't cause fit problems this method should work. Use Super Glue to make the initial repair. When it has set up, apply additional Super Glue around the...

Sorry for the misplaced post and not doing the obligatory search first. Just frustrated and lazy, I guess. Tried the WFO throttle a couple times last night w/ no success, keeping her on the battery tender in between. Today, tried again and varoom. :yahoo: Now she's running perfectly...

I went to fire up the FJR after a winters rest and it won't fire. Had plenty of battery, cranked strong. Popped a couple times then nothing, crank, crank crank. Stopped after 15-20 seconds to let the starter cool. Smells flooded. Tried again after a few minutes.... crank, crank...

You might try searching for Storz...they made adaptors for C10s and others that allowed fitting tubular bars. I have a set on my Connie, but don't know if they're still around or if they make kits for the Feej.
