    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...

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.

Valve Adjust - Gaskets

For my valve adjust this is what I have on the shopping list on the gasket etc front.

Figure I can flush the breather hose out with some degreaser & rag. Do I need the seperators? I read that as filters so....

One thing I'm not sure of is am I likely to need the half moon plus under the end caps? Maybe I'll get them just in case.

I have a small drip from the tacho cable - are these two seals enough to cure it or should I be getting the sleeve, plate & drive as well??

For clarity I have parts 24 & 23 off the first fiche, half moons are 18 then parts 8, 10, 11 & 2 off the 2nd fiche.

Cheers,

Dan :)

You need #8 and #2 from the valve cover fiche.
I would also replace the half-moons if they are old.
I've had a half-moon pop out on me on the hway.
Not fun. Replace them and you should be good for
the next 20 years.

Also consider getting rubber replacement gaskets
for #8 and #2: www.realgaskets.com

I have them on both bikes. Makes valve adjustment
a breeze since they are reusable and there's no
residue to clean up.
 
I've seen these before but I'm not 100% sure which to buy as mine's not listed....

Maybe I'll give the guy a call see what he knows...

I'll get the moons while I'm there then, probably worth just replacing them anyway just in case.

Cheers,

Dan :)
 
Yes, I would get the half-moons. A they area cheap and easy to replace, then you won't have any leaks later.
 
I recently replaced only the seals on my tach (also had a small leak, and its fine now). I would also highly recommend the realgaskets. Give the guy a call, I've talked to him a couple of times and he seems to know his stuff.
