Will do. ETA is expected Tues or Wed here, but I won't be able to tear the bike down till Saturday. I'd expect a quick expedite though.

Add me to the end of that list.

God I am not looking forward to doing the valves on the Gixx :icon_confused:

ohgood

sorry I sat on it so long. came in wednesday and I couldn't get a chance to tear apart the bike until today.

Thanks Kerry, I duped your video for one of the guys that wanted to watch. He's gonna dupe it a few more times, hand em out to friends. I mean, provided you don't object. ;)

No objections, as long as the fee (if any) doesn't exceed the cost of materials (and shipping, where applicable).  :thumb:

Sorry for the delay. Been busy at work.  Sent you a PM OhGood. I will try to do it this coming weekend if the kit gets here by then and the weather warms up. It's crazy weather this year in midwest.

Drinks in my garage fridge are frozen and the fridge is turned off.

Cool, it's on it's way seamax, I only added one shim, had to buy one from suzuki for freaking $13, the one I added is not really one that will help since iirc quite a few of them were the same 2.60 ( .102" ) or whatever. :)

Cool, I checked the tracking and wondered if there was a UPS truck stuck in a drift out there somewhere ;)

Don't leave the compressor tool under a rag  like I did ! ;)

Got the valves checked. All valves cleared .05 mm fine except for one. The .038 feeler would fit but tight on the left rear. Did not have a .03 feeler in the kit. But according to Kerry if the shim rotates freely then it should be ok so I did not want to pop it out.

Thanks to Kerry for his video. I watched it on my laptop while going thru the process. The kit is great but sooner someone will need to replace the .038 feeler. It looks to have been extensively used and is pretty bent.

Nikux, I sent you a PM. Send me your addy and I will send the kit to you.

Yippieee! After months of wait I finally get to do my valves.

seamax, just sent you my address.

btw anyone else in san diego (La Jolla) who wants to do valves? It would be nice if we could do it at the same place.

ohgood
