    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Someone a while ago posted a thread on doing a mod to the cam shaft caps to shim them for the cam walk ticking...I have went back to threads from 2/12 and cant seem to find the thread.

Does this sound familiar to anyone ( or the original poster ) and could you post a link to the thread??

I think maybe my next project when I pull the engine from the 77 750 for a repaint and new valve stem seals will to also finallyn tackle the ticking. I place my stehescope on the cam end covers and the exhaust cam is noticably louder and you can hear the ticks.

This is the stehescope i have..great little tool for zeroing in on little noises

I should have thought to check Cliffs pages..but i think this was not from 07..like maybe less than a year ago that he had posted.

Its just that little tick that I have been "used to" for quite a whikle now. Bike has just over 38,000 and runs like new. I had told myself that when I yank the engine for some minor needs I will do the mod as well.

Will be several months down the road, but I like to refresh the brain cells and do some research for preperation.

Note to self..check Cliffs page first..its not just for newcomers!!!
