Yea also look for anything that says "Juggs" at your local video store. That's just slang for cylinders.  O0
Cool.

Leave it to Srinath to "spoil the moment".  :cookoo:

Are there more?  Well, not from me ... not yet anyway.  I had plans to do a whole series of some kind, but you know how things go.  (http://bbburma.net/Smilies/dunno_black.gif)

Maybe someone should start a putfile, video.google, youtube etc account and we all use it for tutorial videos ?

I've got to second him kerry- that was an excellent job you did.

Yeah I think I learned more from Kerry then I did in my maintenance class. There are some videos out there but not too many if any using the GS500. There was a guy selling MC videos out of Oklahoma, but I am not sure if he is still doing it. Also Amazon.com has a Maintenance video for 59.99, I havent seen this one but may pick it up for Xmas. Vbad have you looked into any classes in your area? Sometimes you can find some through the local community colleges, out here in CA Cypress college is supposed to have a great program. Good luck :thumb:

I want to thank Kerry, too. Without that classic video, I would never have attempted a valve check or adjustment.

I just did my first adjustment at 8300 miles. It took some time (I made some bad measurements at first). Now it's running great and I'm ready to save $250 every time I need to check or adjust those valves in the future.

Thanks, Kerry, for saving me a huge amount of money and letting me take pride in some maintenance done at home. This is one of the reasons I chose the gs.

And that, right there, is the main reason I made the video in the first place.  :icon_mrgreen:  I'm glad to hear that it made a difference!  :thumb:
