    I left about 9:00. bike is still there with the cams out. half the intake and all the exhaust were out of spec. found a couple scratches/flakes on the cam lobes so Degsy is looking into whether they need to be replaced or not. clearly I was jinxed by the talk of it being a Honda and probably not needing anything.

    Very happy with the results. Made it home without losing anything from the bike, so looks like our work has held up so far!

    no gangbang


    the furthest the exhaust side was out was .003 I think and the couple on the intake were either .001 I think. hopefully we can polish the cams and get it all back together for Bomo next week.

    Re: Basic Motorcycle servicing and maintenance day.

    Yeah, thanks a ton Degsy and Beth, and great to meet everyone! I honestly didn't think I was going to understand valve adjustments when we started talking about it in the morning, but then actually going through the process and relating it back to the diagram explanation, it all made a lot more sense. Still probably not gonna go tearing into motors myself for a while, but it's nice to have a handle on what's going on.

    Forgot to say a HUGE thanks to Chip and Scott for helping out and to Brett for running shopping errand AND bringing Sailor jerry.

    Get a MIC stand. Cheap and makes it much easier to use.
