Watch first hand in person how to adjust your valves

I know its late but if anyone in the Bay Area is curious about how to adjust the valves on their 2008+ ninja 250 ill be doing both Cameron's and mine tomorrow. Your more then welcome to watch the process and ask questions and generally just hang out while we tear apart our bikes.

We'll be working out of my garage starting around 11am after a get in a quick bicycle ride. Location is in Brentwood and if your interested just PM me and I send you the address first thing in the morning. For now its time for sleep.

The process will be the same for the 300 as well the only difference would possibly be what chassis parts need to be removed to access the valves.

Is that the group ride doing "laps" again? Didnt someone break an ankle today on redwood. Come hangout, listen to good music and learn how to work on your bike. It'll be fun. More fun than getting pulled over or crashing in the street.

Sorry if that seemed negative, but seriously the stupid mentality coming from the group riders that are doing laps on redwood or Altamont is just going to poison the riding community. We can all go for a ride afterwards. Our rides are more fun anyways.

I was going to do the one that was Concord to Livermore and then laps... Not a huge fan of the laps part, but I went to this ride last year and it was fun (and nice that it was close)...

BUT, I agree with you... I like mellow rides (which is why I normally don't do a ton of group rides) and I really do need to learn this... Plus, I am pretty sure I am only a few miles away... LOL!

Okay fine, I'll do it...

Ha, although that may be true (I can always use an excuse to ride up to the Bay Area), unfortunately I have to work today, which sucks major ass.

Maybe this thread will promote other DIYers to offer the same thing to the less experienced in their areas.
