  • Valve stuff done in the Philippines!!!!

    Yall just dont know, Im on the other side of the world, with an ole bike, and this forum has saved my life!! Thank you so, so, so, much!!!! K, here go my personal thank yous,THANKS Bikerphil, Catonic, Fred Ivsnr, and RASPUTIN!!!! Im not a mechanic, and its hard here, but, with all of you guys help, its done!!! This is how simple and easy! Much clatter, I figured it was the valves. Well, after I got the manual from Rasputin, and saw how easy tensioning was, of course we tried that first. Well, I read the manual, and hoped the when we loosened the bolts, I would hear a loud click. 1/4 turn, and WHOP!!! Loud assed click!!!! Started it, and, SEWING MACNINE!!!!!!!
    So quiet and so cool, again thanks to all you!!! This website is about the most useful and kickass Ive seen!! Thank you all again, from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!!

          Hanger10. While I appreciate your thanks, it is really CatatonicBug that needs thanking for making those manuals accessible. All I did was point you in his direction. Glad to hear it helped you out for sure.
