Anyone in the general upper left corner area have an evening or weekend day to give me a hand with a valve adjust? I've been procrastinating most of the winter about doing a bunch of maintenance and now that I've finally gotten the bike torn down I'm realizing my wrenching skills are so rusty they're fossilized. It's been 20+ years since I've been inside an engine and I'm thinking at this point it would be better (MUCH BETTER) to have someone with firsthand experience either doing the actual measuring and shim replacement or at least looking closely over my shoulder.
I've got a nice garage with plenty of room and light and all the tools and parts needed (although my new feeler gauges might not fit in there and I'll be damned if I can find my micrometers anywhere). The radiator's removed, the cam covers are off, everything's ready to go. But me.
So, any interest? I'm more than willing to shell out for food and beer (afterwards!) or even pay to have it done. What I don't want is to have spring arrive and the bike not running, and left to my own devices that's a real possibility. It's been 2 months since I rode and I'm itching. (I got a cream to take care of that, don't worry. :mrgreen
If there's enough interest and it could happen quickly maybe this could be a little tech session? My next few weekends are open so that's an option.
Thanks in advance,
Tom
