    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.

I'm getting ready to adjust my valves.
Benn noticing a little extra noise,mostly at or just above idle under the cam cover Lately?
It's kinda rattling, more than Clicking?
Want to know what to look for when I adjust the Valves?

Thanks, I'm pulling the cam cover soon to adjust valves anyway!
 
I. Ran the valves,.004 int and .005 ex.
A few were just a tad loose on the Int side, 1 ex was tad tight.
I'm surprised but much quieter now ?
 
Mine Rattles some on start up but once its warmed up it goes away. I have been reading up on the cam tensioner but am reluctant to mess with it since in AZ this is our riding season and otherwise the bike is running great.
 
A little noise at startup is normal, till things warm up and expand!
