UPDATE! POLL! 4v maintenance tech session POLL!

[sdlrodeo]

Ok, I'm trying to negotiate a 'tech session' with Stuart Rust for a 4v job. Please let me know how much you'd like to contribute and which part of the week would be better for you. Thanks!

Thanks for organizing.

I'm available any day, & will contribute whatever the normal cost of adjusting the valves on the PS would cost

This would be really interesting. I assume this would consist of Stuart doing a complete valve check and adjustment on your bike, but talking us through it and showing us what he's doing?

I'd definitely chip in on the tech session part of his fee. I'd like to find out what the basic set of required tools is and what kind of shim kit you need. When doing jap bike valve jobs, I've made all my measurements, removed and measured shims, and gone to the shop to purchase the exact shims I need. It would be nice if our local shops would sell individual shims instead of just a whole assortment tray.  Maybe they do, I just don't know.

I would hope he can also describe the differences between the demo bike engine and others (e.g., 2V and 1098). Weekends are better for me.

Ahh for L' Slur, a special price!!!

A good price.  Only $300 to watch.

+1 I'd be interested if 2v will be covered.

Bump!

That is the idea I had in mind.

I just sent him an email starting the "negotiations"...

So far it seems like we have around 5 DFWMrs interested. I'd like to get an idea on price before I ask for a head count.

This is sortof fun.

I'd be more than interested in learning about the required tool set, specs, and of course watch the service done.

btw, your local dealer will sell you individual shims, to get an OEM shim set costs over 5k, so I doubt that's something you'd want to do, again, the new collets would not allow you to use OEM openers on 4v

Ok, sorry for the pause in process, this is not a dead issue. I'm still trying to get something set up with Stuart.
So far there are a few options. I think he will limit the crowd to 6. I don't know for sure if he will work on someone's bike or just do a 'class' with spare heads he has laying around (2v and 4v) he said he will not do a class with client's 4v because there wouldn't be enough room for people to see. So if he does use someone's bike, it will be a 2v.

He was out of town for a little while, and I'm getting my fence materials together and planning my wife's birthday. Just a tad busy.
We are getting closer to a 'tech session' of some sort though.

However, it could be the bike we use for class.
