    Valve Clearance the fast way

    step one - smash your bike into a jersey barrier at 100 MPH
    step two - shatter your valve cover.
    step three - check valves

    for additional space, try to break the neck of your frame off the bike.

    that's it. no need to remove the tank, air box, spark plugs, coils, etc. see all that time saved?

    I'd be afraid to get dirt in the motor that way...and broken valve cover parts

    isnt it annoying hearing people tell you that you're using antifreeze?

    it's been discovered that the throttle was stuck open while applying brakes. while you're correct, this result was from a mechanical failure and not rider error.

    Re: Valve Clearance the fast way

    Didn't say why it happened, I just heard how it happened when I watched the video, and was unable to let you know there.

    I get credit on 2 out of 3 of Obligatories huh? DB and Smutty are on the way to making me famous for another one.

    So adjusting a chain for you involves a ramp, flaming hoop, and barbed wire fence??

    Ahhh so that's why I heard you were using antifreeze. That blows that the rumor went around.

    the corner workers never asked me what i have for oil. i know it's typically the 2nd thing they ask after making sure you're ok.

    Smutty; you've been teaching people to check valves the wrong way.
