Demo ideas?! -
January 31, 2012, 12:40 PM
So I was planning on continuing the demos and covering other things besides suspension. I'm looking for ideas on what you guys want to learn. As of now I'm thinking of doing a valve clearance check and adjustment demo for the modern shim under bucket valve train that you'll find on just about every jap bike.. I have a spare engine out of the bike so it should be a good demo if anyone is interested. Maybe mid March?.
PLEASE keep trolling to a minimum and if anyone has issues with me doing these demos please let me know and if your reasoning is valid I will stop immediately but if it's not you will be advised to "pound sand"

Valve check would be awesome even though I think its pretty simple.

I agree but I think everything is easy when it comes to motorcycles and that's why I want to know what people actually need/want to learn.

I'm game but you better have a free weekend because depending on the engine (inline 4, single, V twin etc) that would be a 2 day event and the special tools required to do it properly are not cheap ( bore gauge, valve spring compressor, small hole gauge, ect). Not many people will want to make the investment. I'll add it to the list though. Thanks!
