yeah  if  memorial weekend is may 27 and 28(i dont have a calander that says what event days are)

Otherwise I want to do the valve adjustment soon cuz it running pretty rough right now, so ealy June would be nice, still gotta find some where with shims.

Later,
Aaron

Just thought I'd chime in here...I'm planning on doing a valve adjustment as well. The valve adjustment kit is helpful, but won't contain all the right shims you'll need. I got a little crazy with ordering shims, so now I have 4 of each size ranging from 2.50mm to 2.65. I have a valve tool, but no feeler guages. I've also rejetted my carbs already, so if anyone wants help let me know. I won't be around Memorial Day weekend, cause I'll be out riding  But maybe some time this summer we could have a valve-adjustment party! 

Oh, and I ordered my shims from http://www.crc2onlinecatalog.com/
Cheepest I could find at $5 a pop. If you order, I'd suggest ordering the shims alone. Otherwise they tape them to a box or another order, and sometimes UPS will have an mysterious accident where all the contents fall out of the box, then UPS picks it all up (minus the shims), and stuff it back in the box like nothing ever happened. Then you'll call up crc2 and they'll be pissed with UPS and ship another set of shims seperately via priority mail. Sometimes it happens, is all I'm saying....But I'm happy with their products. I've put in 2.60's and they work fine.

Yeah I can get the rest of the stuff(feeler gauges and caliper) , I was hoping to do it within like 2 weeks, becaue I know my valves are tight now I  am way overdue. But at ManoftheField put his name on the East Coast Kit so who knows when that will come. Ohh well, let me know when you are free Ry and we will do it up.

Rejet=Done(kinda  turns out that it has a DJ kit in so that sucks so its done for now)

Vavles= Need to do Soon

Ry_Guy could it at all possible that I borrow your valve tool and buy any spare shims you have. I dont know if you need them all or what but if you want to sellt that would be cool

Manofthefield- You still up to do this, if you are let me know when a good time would be to do it. If you want to do a rejet at the same time I still have to finish the rest of mine when I get the new needles in.

let me know

Anyone going to Dulono's on Thurs (tommorow)? I believe it's the first Thursday of the month, and I can finally make it this time.

coll0412 -  Yea we can work something out with shims. I'd like to do my valves first though before I sell any shims. I'm free Thurs, & Sat morning this week if you want to do valves. If you bring the feeler guages and caliper, I can bring the valve tool and shims. I also have a garage to work in, so if you wanna come to my place you're welcome. Doesn't matter to me, just lemme know when you can do it.
I plan on cleaning out the carbs too, so if Manofthefield wants to join in...maybe saturday morning would work?

I may be able to do saturday morning, as long as I'm not gone all day...  So how early would you guys want to get together?  (My garage is still available too) 

I can buy a caliper and feeler gauges if needed... I wouldn't mind having either/both in my toolbox

I probably won't make it to Dulono's tomorrow... I need to schedule that farther ahead next month

I could be in Savage around 10:30 am, unless you want to meet me out here at 10. It's about a 50 min drive either way. I have to work at 3 on Sat, so I can't be gone too long either. I think Aaron's in the middle of us. Aaron, where to? Not to put you in the spotlight or anything....but I did  

On second thought, I'll just go to your garage since you're new to the area. Is 10:30 alright?

That'll work for me... 10:30 sounds good. 

You want directions or should I just give you my address and let you find me?

Wow I have been working non stop and have not looked at the board in awhile

I feel left out now....anyways...you guys are planning at 10:30AM, I am supposed to watch my neice so I might not be able to do that.

But I will call my brother tomarrow to see if I can reschudle to watch her later in the day.

I will check the board tomarrow and let you guys know.....

Dude, you should just work less. It's much easier on your constitution 
Hope you can reschedule! That was me who called you today, btw. Just was wondering if you made it to Dulonos. I was there but didn't see anyone. Saw a couple 500F's though, a faired yellow and a naked black one. Good times.
Manofthefield - PM me with directions. I'll probably come in from 169 depending on where in Savage you live.

So I reschudled and can meet you guys at 10:30AM if thats cool with you guys. What do I need to bring, I have feeler gauges( will have to check what they go down to) and I also have a caliper and a bunch of tools

Let me know directions and such or call me at XXX-XXX-XXXX

Aaron

PMs sent with directions

I've got a full socket set, allen wrenches and a pretty good selection of most common tools.  I also have a couple of valve shims, but I forget what size they are. 

Off the top of my head it would be nice to have a long flatblade to shut off the tank petcock and an extendable magnet

Ry: bring the valve tool and shims

Aaron: bring the caliper and feeler gauges if they get small enough

Bring anything else you think we might need or might want duplicates of; let me know if there's anything else we need

Caliper= Got it, reads to the thousands, but only to one decimal place in mm   so we might have to convert

Feeler Gauges= goes down to .038mm which should be fine, the lower tolerence is.03 millimeters so we are off .0003in

I will grab my new set of screw drivers, are you guys doing any carb work because I also have an impact screwdriver if you need it?

Otherwise I have carb cleaner if you need some, I even have some spare jets too.

Roger on the caliper and feeler gauges, sounds like they will work.

I do have carb cleaner, but I probably won't do any carb work tomorrow... we'll see

I have a magnet and some miscelaneous tools not mentioned above that I'll bring along with the shims and valve tool. See you guys tommorow!

Anyone planning to go to Dulono's thursday?  I'll probably be heading over there after work

I can make Dulono's on Thursday.  Hey, maybe I'll even ride the GS instead of the Piaggio (!).  That'll give me an excuse to wash the GS, finally.  It's been needing a wash these past few... seasons . 

I think I should be there 5:15ish.  Maybe between these two pictures you can figure out what I look like pic1 pic2  ... but probably not.  I'm about 5'8" and have reddish hair.  Do you have any preffered place you usually park?

Cool.  I have often found a spot right on the north/south avenue to the east of Dulonos (the main drag)... usually 1/2 or 2/3 of the way down the block, on the Dulono's side.  It's probably because I get there on the way home, rather than going home first  .

Maybe I can find time to photocopy a big "GSTwins.com" poster tomorrow, just so there's no ambiguity.
