#105624 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1276 Got a Screw Loose 1 Month ago   Starting my long list of wanna dos and gotta dos on the bike finally. Went in to clean and recharge my K&N filter for the stock airbox and discovered that one of the screws that hold the filter inside the box had backed completely out and other was halfway out. Filter was pretty much loose. Wonder how long it's been like that. Will have to be more attentive. Also trimmed my choke knob and wrapped my coils and wires today. Left them off for now, though, with the idea of adjusting my valves this week. (Still fighting the fear monster on that one). Also on the To-Do List by the time I leave for New England in 3-1/2 weeks: Install risers Replace control cables (when they arrive) Install new front brake line Replace all brake fluid Install 33-tooth front pulley and clean belt guides Grease neck bearings File down the leading edge of the front brake pads Replace fork oil Keep in mind, I've never done more than replace plugs and changed oil in 30 years of riding before this bike. You guys are gonna make a wrench outa me yet!   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105630 ratl (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 131 Re:Got a Screw Loose 1 Month ago   SobaCracka wrote: [quote] Also trimmed my choke knob and wrapped my coils and wires today.

Moderator Posts: 4171 Re:Got a Screw Loose 1 Month ago   How many miles on the valves SobaCracka? If you're at the 16,000 mile mark (or so), and the bike doesn't sound different.......ride it. Or you could do like I did , waste the $$ at a dealership to tell you they were "in spec" . Your choice. BTW , Enjoy your ride , I'm headed there next year 'bout this time.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1276 Re:Got a Screw Loose 1 Month ago   Yeah, I skipped it at 16,000 miles. Just crossed 27,000 miles the other day. With 2300 miles or so in 5 days looking at me at the end of the month, I'd rather take a look at them now. Because they should get noisier gradually, I don't want to run the risk of missing the point where they really need adjusting, y'know. Two riding buddies agree with me that the valves are a bit "chattery."   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105885 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh.

BB Well, I hope you pass within riding distance of here. Maybe we could do a few miles together.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105946 Akela (User) Ephesians 1:4-5 Junior Boarder Posts: 141 Re:Got a Screw Loose 1 Month ago   Soba, where in New England are you headed?   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #105996 SobaCracka (User) It's best to eat crow while fresh. Platinum Boarder Posts: 1276 Re:Got a Screw Loose 1 Month ago   Akela, We're heading through New York to Vermont, up into Quebec, then through New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, then back through New York and Pennsylvania on the way home. You know, about a 20-minute ride. Depending on what format and size the maps are when we get the route mapped out, I might post them.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #105999 Akela (User) Ephesians 1:4-5 Junior Boarder Posts: 141 Re:Got a Screw Loose 1 Month ago   Yeah, a 20 min ride Hope you have enjoy the trip, that sounds like fun!
