Do you have the stuff to check the valve lift ? It will be the same for both sides on the intake and both sides on the exhaust ? This will slow / stop your teardown in search of this noise .

Ha

Does this HAVE to be two wheel subject only ?

Hmmmmm. Good luck

Scud , remove the valve covers & spark plugs . If you have a center stand , put the bike in gear and rotate the engine until you reach TDC and inspect the valve clearance . When you are satisfied with rotate the engine til you reach TDC on the other cylinder . Adjust this cylinder also . Check everything again to make sure you did not make a mistake . Let me know what you find .

You don't have to put expensive , elaborate stuff in there to take up this slack.. something good . Maybe a good experienced man can chime in ? p.s. call a machine shop Monday w/some dimensions , they can help you

If you get as far as the lifters , they wear according to the cam lobe . They go back into the position they came . Let no one tell you different . I am not sure what your problem is but inspect EVERYTHING as you disassemble , post pics of any ?able things you see and ask for advice .

huh ?

You should describe what type of & diameter string you are using .

You know the ( logic ) rules ! It's like a Jimi Hendrix performance . It starts out one place and 10 minutes later it lands back on course w/o missing a beat .

Black Oak Arkansas ? OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How old are you ?

That crinkly paint was available in the 2003 model year too .

Looks pretty good . the 2 into 1 is righteous !

If my memory serves me correctly , Pirsig was turned down by just about every publisher on the planet .

My bike has NEVER started that quick !

The most righteous M/G ever .

It will get TLC !

I would let this one go & let this ripen on the vine through the winter . If you want it then see what the price is /does ?

Fuel pumps have important specs. beside inlet & outlet o.d. , housing diameter and length . Fuel pressure and volume are critical if you want correct engine performance .

This will be a temp. fix. The heater hose will not last long. It is not designed to work with petroleum products . When you get to a good break , get another hose and d-i-y.

remove the valve cover and see what is going on .....

Yes on the Roper plate & I second the motion on the needles . It does look too good. Offering a bike with any broken levers or pedals is not the best way to sell something . I would talk to all the previous owners. p.s. it does look good !
