I'm 0 for 2 :(
First attempt at V.A. a year ago and I do this:
Then last Friday, this happens: Then while hovering over the valves eating pizza the cheese falls off my pizza and into the valves! Moral of the story: Don't order pizza from PIZZAHUT! And p.s. - I give up! I'm never doing the V.A. EVA AGAIN!

I think there's another moral that you should be taking away from this...

Pizza Hut pizz sucks!
Does V.A. stand for Valve Adjustment? |

For bolts or screws that are starting to strip, try using an impact driver. They work!

I believe the ex. & in. on cylinder 2 were off. <--Alex.S measured them.
I used both and it still stripped the damn bolt. That damn bolt would not budge. Alex can testify to that. I was so pissed.

What's really frustrating is you're talking to a guy who's done tons of valve adjustments, minor to major service/overhauls on cars & motorcycles and came out with great results yet this stupid job did a number on me not once but twice!
Now this is gonna cost me big bucks to fix. So frustrated.

i want another crack at that engine out of the bike. i think with more clearance we could really get a good hold on it and put some real torque on it.

Hell, you can do the PNP on your own. Opening up the exhaust ports will probably help tremendously

How much HP gain do you get out of a PNP? Worth the hassle?

I hear cheese/pizza grease lining the walls of your intake adds up to 15hp
Also makes a great lubricant, something like Mobil 1 synthetic

It's cool Dean. I'm gonna drop off the bike at performance shop. Sick & tired of working on this bike. Of all the years of working/tuning carbs I sat last night and said for the very first time, "I'm tired of working on carbs." Fortunately, we don't have to wait too long.

I WAS gonna ask someone for help checking my valves... since in the 15k+ miles on the engine I don't think its ever been done. But after seeing what happens when you guys get your hands on stuff it might just be better leaving it outta sight & outta mind. Saturday? |

"B" bike's all done!
Shop said everything was wrong with the bike - jetting & valve adjustment. Doesn't really pinpoint the source but I think Alex & I were on the right track. I really think one or more valves were tight/closed causing it surge (mid-range) every time I rolled on the throttle.
