    Are our valve shims/pads stackable

    Thanks! As you said, I have the measurements; I'll just have to see what's under the bucketsand figure out the difference and get the right size. Right! They open in the rarest of conditions. And the motor is very clean. Not carboned up as you mentioned. I'm getting back out there today...

    Are our valve shims/pads stackable

    I'm in the process of doing a valve check this weekend, and unfortunately every single one of my exhaust valves has too much clearance. No adjustments are needed for intake as loosest is 0.007" and tightest is 0.006". My tightest exhaust is 0.022" and loosest is 0.028". I am convinced there...

    Adirondack Mountain Ride

    Although I've never been to the area, you'll find the best roads 'winging' it!

    Dunlops, what am I doing wrong?

    I mostly ride semi aggressive and st tires have NEVER left me feeling like I need more traction. One in a while I'll ride hard. I have scraped pegs plenty of times and accelerated hard out of sharp turns and my st tires have never gotten away from me.

    Trip planning out west-suggestions welcome & appreciated

    Update: it is looking like I won't be able to make the full trip up to glacier national park. I am anticipating getting a new job which I can't pass up and will be expected to start August 1st. There are also some other things such as physical, drug test, filling out paperwork etc that I'll need...

    Helmet Visor Tint Choice

    I only use a clear visor since I very frequently ride at night. Its easier to use sunglasses during the day than carry and switch visors. Then I even have sunglasses to wear when off the bike. Dark smoke looks cool, but its too much of a hassle to me to constantly be switching. You could use...

    Plasti Dip / Tank Removal

    lawlberg is the guy to ask. He did a great job plastidipping his fz6(75r). His bike looks great! Check out his thread here: http://www.600riders.com/forum/fz6-mods/51960-teaser-my-pearl-white-plastics.html And to answer your question, removing the gas tank is very easy. Even easier if it's empty!

    It's almost over!

    You may have misread. I took the national for my basic, but not for paramedic. I took the IL state test for paramedic. I have been entertaining the idea of taking the national paramedic, and am welcoming any advice on it. After you take the nremt-P let me know what you thought. :D

    It's almost over!

    CPR is a workout. Once you start working with the same group of people and practice/run enough codes you'll all work in synch with great communication and will rotate flawlessly. Don't underestimate a good emt-b! Congrats on your successful year of medic school. Some of my favorite memories of...

    Tyre Pressure PR4

    170lb and running 33/36 with my pr4's. It feels fine. I bump it up a few psi if I'm touring and am loaded with gear.

    Thanks! It's the stock seat that I reshaped. I can ride nonstop between tanks on it. It is very comfortable.

    Steering issue

    Remember when you were a kid and you crashed your bicycle and the wheel was off? All you had to do was straddle the front wheel to hold it in place while straightening the bars. Similar situation, assuming nothing got bent the forks may just be twisted in the clamps. Some get away with...

    Ohio : Saturday 06-13 - Route 555

    Okay. I plan on making a trip down to southeastern Ohio the third week of July. I will make it there from Chicago on July 15th, and stay until either July 19th or the 20th. If any of you in the area want to meet up and ride for a day (or a few days, I plan on camping in Ohio/West Virginia) let...

    Uneven chain wear. Why?

    10,000km and no chain maintenance, yikes! Time for some TLC on that chain and sprockets. Clean it well and lube it up. You'll notice a smoother and quieter ride with a clean and lubed chain with proper slack. It's also a good idea to take the front sprocket cover off and clean in there. I...

    Woooohooooooo! :rockon: I've never come close to winning mbom before. It'll be cool seeing it on the front page every time I log on. I actually had a different picture in mind for this mbom, but changed it last minute. Thanks for the votes and to everyone who participated! For a few days I...
