List is updated.
here is a note added to the first post about valve checks:
Note: To clear up any misconception on the valve checks - You are expected to do the wrenching, we just help guide you through the steps, and make sure you don't get stuck. This is one of the more difficult maintenance items on this bike. If you are not comfortable taking the body work off, removing the tank and getting to the valve cover, please consider having a mechanic do the work for you.
To explain further, I have about 4-6 people at the tech meet who have done several valve checks and are here to assist. They are not here to do the valve check for you. This is an oppertunity for you to try it with help available to watch and make sure you don't miss something or get stuck.
If you are not comfortable doing complex maintenance on your bike, then you should have a professional mechanic do it for you. If we can't fit you in, you can contact one of the people and see if they will assist you at your home or make some arrangement.

Yes, I hope to make it an ongoing thing with GP Suspension. They are going to start with the basics talking about set up this time and a little about adjustments. In future tech meets I would like to have them discuss more about how the suspension works and some of the theories behind it and how adjustments affect the settings. Most of it will be more race based, but that is where it gets developed and then adapted to for street use.
I am exicted that they are taking the time from their busy schedule during the race season and track side support they do to send a tech to our get together.

Put me in as a maybe. I am not sure when I will be working. Also, a friend and I are planning a 3 or 4 day trip to Nor Cal and back sometime in May as well.
