    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.

Shimming (TDC Question)

Hey Everyone,

I just want to know if when shimming the engine do I need to worry about the bike being Top Dead Center, or just concentrate on the location of the Cam lobes. Seems as though my valves are pretty tight so I need to change the shim sizes, just got a little confused after reading something online about makeing sure the engine is TDC when checking the valve clearences.

THanks for any advise
 
I just answered that on your other thread about checking valve clearances. :o

No need to start a new thread.

Thanks Steve,

I made a note on the last one to you. Thank you for your help, it is very usefull and am looking to getting this project completed.
 
Did you read the instructions in a factory manual, or a Chilton's, or did you check BassCliffs site for same?
 
Hi Mr. GMSKEE,

Ha! I posted a response in your other thread too. I documented one of my valve adjustments with pictures. It might help you. I use the Suzuki factory method to check clearances, just like my friend Mr. Steve. :D
