Thanks. Just wasn't sure if maybe I got air in the line and things were off. Thanks again.

I decided to replace the fluid in the clutch today. When I was all done I put the bike in gear, pulled the clutch lever in and tried to roll the bike (bike not running) I discovered it was very difficult to roll, almost like the clutch was not fully engaged. I never did this before so I don't...

I want one of these! Voted - XL short sleeve T.

Yup, quite easy after the first few. Add in the support from the people here and you can't go wrong. Saved me close to $900.00 by doing it myself. That's right, the dealer here is rediculous.

Damon just contacted me to take care of the faulty DVD. Wow what a great guy. I suggest to anyone who ever wants to rebuild their carb or mess with their engine to contact Damon...his video How To Guides are awesome.

I would think so. After I did about 5 or 6 shims I started to get a lot easier, especially after I stopped using the manual chart and figured out how the thicknesses worked, thanks to Rusty. After I did all 16 and then, double checked the gaps, and then triple checked the gaps, and yes then...

I actually have both his videos. I rebuilt my carbs a couple of months ago using the carb vid and it was awesome. When I went to use the Engine Rebuild vid it wouldn't run (faulty Disc)...I have to get a hold of Damon to get a replacement.

Okay, I'll check with Sean to be doubly sure. All the valves are done now and everything is in spec. Now comes putting the valve covers back on:bang head:I hated taking those things off. Thanks again Rusty - you really helped me out.

Thanks Rusty. I took your advice and ignored the chart and simply started to do the math...things are working out now. Another question, I have noticed that I have oil dripping out of the stator now. It seems the more I crank the more oil seeps out. Is this normal?

Okay, just when you think you know what you are doing you realize you don't! This is now my problem - Every time I adjust the shim size based on the clearance I can never get the correct Exhaust clearance. What ends up happening is I measure the clearance and it is out of spec so I adjust and...

That would make sense:biglaugh: I also noticed that the shafts are labelled 'EX' and 'IN'...probably for newbies like me:punk: Have done two pairs of exhaust shims sofar. Working on the right side of the bike now - pain in the butt having to go back and forth to turn the crank:damn angry:

Okay, got it! Perpendicular to the shim and the exhaust valves are the outer ones. Stay tuned for future stupid questions:) Thanks guys.

Sean's loner shim kit showed up today so I figured I'd start the work. I have been following the 'How to' guide provided here in the How to' section and so far things are going alright (man that front valve cover is a SOB!). Anyway, according to the step by step guide I need to make sure the...

I have read that some people needed risers to avoid hitting the faux tank and others say they didn't need the risers and they had clearance. Don't want to use risers if I don't have too.

Hey Sean, do you sell risers too? And if so what type are they (0ne piece or the two piece kind)?

I am going in a bit of a direction change with my max and want to go to drag bars. I currently have Sean's Superbike bars and like them, but they do not appeal to my eye as much as drag bars. My problem is I am not sure whether I should go with the straight bar or the drag bars that are just...

+1. When I did mine i really didn't notice a difference in height but a definite improvement in performance.

I flushed my coolant the other day and noticed a very small hole at the bottom of the water pump, just under the cover. Being curious I stuck a little screw driver up there to see how deep it is and it just kept going in, but when I pulled it out it was pretty gucky. Anyone know what that...

Anyone ever order these? If so did they fit?
