Hi Z1streetfighter71

you asked for it, you'll get it !
I'll start a new subject in "the bottom shed" and if the admin doesn't agree he can place it somewhere else or delete it if it's not suited.

Hi guys I know it's been a while since my last update...not much news. I'm waiting for the parts to be rechromed, I don't hear anything from the rechromer allthough I tried to reach him a few times. Perhaps next week I'll try to phone him again. In the mean time I started another project...it's on 4...

Hi Warren I've never experienced that the intake valves close up faster. Once the clearance is set correctly for all the valves, it stays good for a long time... perhaps because I almost never let the revs go higher than 5000 RPM and I always ride in a very cautious manner.

The exhaust valves get hotter , the intake valves stay cooler due to the passage of the f...
