You got off easy.....this is what I found.

I think I'd rather just buy them..............that's too much work :-)

Yes...........but why do people climb Everest??? I'm hoping for no leftover bolts!!!!

I don't plan on cleaning anything in there for that reason alone. I think I can be sure this one is not a "ticker". I am tempted to go all the way and yank the cylinders off.....etc....... but past experience has shown me............."if it ain't broke, don't fix it".

This is cylinders 2 and 4.....others look the same. Engine has 104,000 Kms. Normal carbon deposits?? Cylinder 3 Cylinder 1 Cylinders 1&2 Cylinders 3&4

Absolutely something....... partial list of things needed thus far... CCT Valve Shims Rear shock Stock from any year Fuse block

I use webs.com for mine. Its free but posts ads on the site. I paid for the domain name to eliminate the ads. $79 for two years. my link is below......

Great idea Busta!! Once I pull the cams out and see what the numbers are I will post up what I need. Perhaps a few members might have a one or two. I can get them for $5 online, so it's not too bad......although I do need 16.

Pulled my motor...............I was bored. Anyways, thought I'd do a valve clearance check (104K - kms) Last one was at 57K and they were at the limit.......now.....a bit over SHIM LIST ADDED

Don't knock it till ya try it eh...........throw a new PR2 on the front with a Michelin Exalto on the back, and you won't have to worry about tire changes at all. FWIW :-) Best of luck though.......I'm very jealous.

I rode RaYzermans when he tried my CT and I did notice it felt more responsive, but it only took 1 corner to re-adjust.

I run 30 psi, and I weigh 180, rarely have a passenger, and load the bags frequently. I've tried 35 (too stiff) and 25 is way too loose. So baby bear felt that 30 is just right :-)

Thanks for the link Ray!! some very interesting reading......(yes I shamelessly stole my new avatar from the site)I'm not sure I'll go back to a Moto tire myself. Working on planning a trip out to Goose Bay and back through Newfoundland. BTW.....rode into work last Saturday to give her a final...

Tank looks great so far, well done. BTW.....did you figure out the exact volume increase??

Kodak moment for sure. At least you weren't sitting on it at the time.

You won't regret the Exalto. I only have 7K (kms) on mine but still looks new, and I am very happy with it. Rides just like a Moto tire. My buddies are afraid to try it.............they think I've been to see a witch doctor. It's funny how their response changes after they get left behind in the...

I think you should put it back up.......I thought it was funny. Having only ridden the Dragon and the Cherohala once (the best roads ever IMHO), I am unable to offer any advice other than to say, I think you'll have your work cut out for you to try and maintain 73mph (that's with no stops) on...

That's why I do ALL my own work...........

Sounds like we should arrange a group to ride down to Dover on the 13th. I've never actually been (to many Harleys....haha) but it would be fun in a group of FJR's.

Bungie, If you're going to be in the Hamilton area anytime, send me a PM. You can ride mine with the Michelin Exalto. Me thinks there is a big difference even between CT's. I'll only be putting a moto tire back on for a multiday trip through the twisties...............otherwise, it's CT forever...
