    Been a long time since I've been here...

    So it's been a long time since I've been on this forum, maybe 6 months but it feels like years. This year has been pretty nuts for me, losing 120 pounds, then almost dying driving off a cliff and rolling over in an armored truck. hows everyone else been?

    She lives!!!

    After having my bike apart for 2 months, it's finally running again. I've replaced the cam chain, guides, tensioner, adjusted the valves, and replaced the clutch with a Barnett kit. It runs better than the day I bought it! Took it out for a spirited 80 mile ride through the mountains and...

    Started tear down on my top end and discovered some interesting things. I had installed a manual cam chain tensioner and apparently I tightened it too much. The cam chain had ZERO play in it, and then I discovered this: This is the chain guide on the tensioner side, completely split and...

    Need expert opinions - Time for valve adjustment?

    I recently started riding my bike to work after letting it sit for months at a time and started noticing some problems. 1. At first it wouldn't start, it would crank forever until I went wide open throttle then it would sputter to a start, like it was gasping for air. Now after riding it for...

    Almost hit a baby deer today

    So near the end of a wonderful ride, I was riding up by the local country club pissing off rich people when suddenly, I looked to my left and see a baby deer running alongside me, attempting to dart out in front of me. It backed off when it realized I was too fast for it. Had I been going...

    Dragging pegs/feet - false neutral and accidental shifts?

    I went for a pretty nice, spirited ride today, hit the local mountains and twisties and leaned pretty hard. My foot and the pegs were dragging all day, and a few times it pushed my foot up into the shift lever, and I would go into a false neutral, and one time it even upshifted! This was a...
