Re:Where's Pop Rivet? 5 Years, 2 Months ago  
I keep talking about a friend of mine who's been wrestling the "sticky valve" problem because he's been through just about all the recommendations I've seen posted here and on the RSR. He reamed the valve guides, cleaned the heads and valve stems, put in Orient Express valve springs and thought he was good to go. Bike started acting up again after a few thousand miles.

Latest thing he did was to pull just the rear cylinder head. He had noticed that the valve seats on the RS are really thin. He ground the valve seats to get a really good seal and put it all back together. Says the bike (2005 Silverado) is running better now than ever. Wonder if those valve seats are just too thin?
