Will do, Jim. Ima work around Ian's schedule as I need his wisdom and he's house-fixing/house-hunting these days. Not to mention everyone is wanting to get out and ride. Tentatively planning to get started shortly after October 1.

He may be under my tutelage/supervision. You want a lesson too Jimbo?

Yes and I can be quite flexible in terms of timing. I'm not due for some time, but want to decide if I can do it or need to farm it out.

As I told Skunky, it's not hard - but does require some time if shims are needed and not on hand. A good bit of stuff has to come off to get at the valves - so it's not a job you want to do in the drive way. And if you've got to order shims - then there's the down time of waiting.

I did my valves over the winter - and at least a couple folks have seen my bike running since then :) So it's possible for mechanically inclined mortals to do

-Throttle's on the right, so are the brakes.  Good luck.

Let me know when you decide to do this...the skunk can be the guinea pig. ;D

You'd better not be talkin' 'bout the fine S2R1000 I sold you (was it only last year? year before?)! I dub thee "The Skunk Maker"!

I would never defile my fine steed by calling it a skunk!!!

Broke out the soldering gun and wired my powder coated clear lens headlight assembly. I can safely ride at night now [beer]
Don't argue with idiots. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Rode to Seneca Rocks and back with Ben, Brian, Brett, Chris and Travis.

Had a cute little bear cross the road in front of us. :o :o Funny Brian started the day off by saying he was gonna ride with the bears.

And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Went on ride, after a long time... somehow a screw came loose off my handle bar grip.. Felt like i had throttle on both handle bars..

Time to go looking for right size screw  [bang]

I just installed a headlight relay and I'm more than happy with the output. Hope to get the bike running soon. [bang]
