94 and counting.

[Steve]

I have just sent out valve adjust spreadsheet #94. Apparently enough of you are curious enough to try it at least once, I have only had a couple respond to say that they liked it.

What say the rest of ye?

Who is going to step up and be #100?
No special prize, just bragging rights. 8-[

What is this V.A.S.S. you speak of? I don't need to be 100, I'm happy to be #95 though. Perhaps this is the tool I need to attempt this important maintenance myself?

The Valve Adjust Spreadsheet is a little program I have worked up in Micro$oft Excel that will help you do the math converting inches to millimeters and it also keeps track of the shims that you have installed, which will help you decide what you can move around and what you need to buy to get your valves adjusted properly. It also has a page for tracking general maintenance that you do to/for your bike. You still need a good manual (Suzuki, Haynes or Clymer) and it is also helpful to look at the tutorial on BassCliff's website.
Oh, and it's really only useful if you have an 8-valve engine that uses shims. The 16-valve engines use threaded adjusters with locknuts and are rather straight-forward.

To get your copy, send me an e-mail (not a PM) with "valve adjust spreadsheet" in the subject line. I will reply with the spreadsheet as an attachment.

All I ask in return for the spreadsheet is a little info for my user's profile:
Your name
Your GSR username
Your bike
What little corner of the world you call "home" (note that it can be as generic as my location which is "southwest oHIo")

By the way, would you settle for being #96? That's good, because I just sent out #95. 8-[

Have not had to do my valves yet. When I do I will let you know how it works out. Again thanks, and I look foward to using it.

Thank you.
