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.

jumped about 7 teeth. No other issues. I reset the cam and got ready to reinstall the tensioner. Now, lets see.....where did I leave those
BRAND NEW gaskets ???? Oofah ! In my genius, I apparently threw them away. Doh !!
So, bike is sitting while I await new gaskets. Plenty of other things to do though.

I got tired of waiting for gaskets so I made my own. Installed tensioner and checked cam timing. Spot on.
Next I adjusted all the valves. All the intakes were just a tiny bit tight. Fixed that. Hooked up my jump box and
verified the motor cranks on the start button. Everything inside looks good. Today I'm going to do some more odds
and ends while I wait for parts.

the damping rod. Luckily I had the set left over from the red bike so I took one apart and got it. Forks were in ugly shape. Rust on the
retaining clip, oil looked like tar, seals massively leaking. But the tubes are in good shape. So I will forge ahead.

Got the rear brake back together and bled. Seems to work now. Yay.
Feeling brave I decided to try to start the bike. Most likely for the first time since 2008. Got the gas bottle hooked up, plugged
the vacuum line and... after some cranking...... IT'S ALIIIIIVE ! BWAHAHAHAHA !!!! Runs pretty decent. Very little smoke out the exhaust.
No clunks, clanks or thumps. I still have to adjust and sync the carbs. Today I'm going to address the wiring for the Polaris rectifier.
Charge wire keeps pulling out of the plug.

is carb sync. But I got side tracked. Picked up a 1994 DR650 so its on the lift right now. Oop ! And its colder than my dogs nose out
in the garage right now so things moving very slowly.
