There comes a time in a preson's life when they must stand up and do their own valve adjustments. [wine]
Anyone up for a little wrench day?
I have beer, garage, and some tools. Who's done it before?
I too need to do valves...in!
I'm over due on my bike... but I'm a complete and utter NUB so I'm only in if someone's willing to hold my hand through it :)
Don't you guys have four-vavlers? :o I'm gettin' close to needing one. Not sure where I'm at. Enzo and I usually do both bikes together, but I've been racking up the miles a lot more than he lately.
I'm about 500 away from needing a service... count me in if people are doing them

The four-valver (http://www.flickr.com/photos/30869581@N00/442771550/#) is fine. The two-valver (http://www.flickr.com/photos/30869581@N00/640553894/#) needs some attention.
I'm in to watch an learn. I feel more confident working on my own bike every time I go to one of these things.
ok now we need an expert.
Who's done this before ?

I was thinking we'd actually *cook* pizza.
I'm in for watching, learning and hanging out.

I've done this 5 times on 3 bikes. All NON DS1000 motors (which is 90% of all ducs for the last decade anyways)
I'd be willing to teach. I just got mine done two weeks ago so its all fresh in my mind. Let me know if you guys need me there. I've only done 2V's so though I can be helpful on 4V, I dont consider myself an expert in 4V bikes.
I've got the the micrometer engine turning tools etc someone else needs to supply the torque wrenches, shims and gaskets, anti sieze, and loctite
PS If anyone's here has DS motors timing belt tension is something I havent dealth with. So this WILL be an issue.

Ahem.... the proper installation of a tassel requires technical expertise. [evil]
So when/where is this happening again?
