    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.

Ready to tear into it.......but one small question

Ok, well it's been a while since my last post. Works been to busy for my liking. The bike is a 82 750T. All maintenance and stuff have been done. Checked all bolts for tighteness to rule out the cause of the vibration and inspected all tran componets. I believe all the vibration is valve related. I have all the parts, tools, and gaskets and I was gonna do it a few weeks ago but time hadn't permitted. So now I'm ready to do the clearances. Plus I'm gonna do the idle mixture using "the highest idle" method. Due to the fact my buddy played with them and now she's way to rich. My question. Should I do the idle mixture adjustment before or after the clearance job is done? Does it matter? I just don't want to repeat it if possible. Thank you all for your help.
 
Do the valve check/adjustment first, then idle mixture screws and carb sync.
 
Yep. Adjusting the valves can affect how much air gets to the cylinders.

You may as well have that set right, then adjust the mixture for that amount of air. :D

.
 
But Steve, the carbs and mixing of air and fuel takes place upstream from the valves before the air enters???????????

Hahahahaha, just pulling your chain, Steve, I know what you mean.;)
