    Replaced fork seals, leaking at air valve?

    How much valve tick is normal?

    Another question about my '85 Max. When it warms up it definitely has some noise from the valvetrain. Very minor, but steady, ticking. Bike has 24,500 miles and I do not know if it has had an adjustment, so I do plan on getting that done once I find a competent local mechanic. It also may be a...

    Valve Cover issue!

    Anyone know anything that may be causing my valve covers to leak? First it was the front now the rear one is leaking. I checked the bolts they are tight. The front started about 10,000 miles and now the rear is leaking at 16,000. Is there a vent tube somewhere that may be clogged up, that could...
