Hi Folks I am in need of a set of 27mm exhaust valves and 30 mm intake valves I also need an exhaust rocker for the same bike. 1995 350. Motor ser# says 1992 as manufacture date which has 10 mm rocker shafts. I have machined these out to 12 mm so new rocker will work. I would even be...

hello, I changed my exh valves last week,It was a special set I bought from D. Lineaweaver,I must thank this person to give some very important parametrics to set up the valves in the right way.( spring height,Protrusion...) When I bought the bike I was very surprised that all the bergs...

Hello, I just attempted by first valve adjustment after taking a basic maintence course. On the 4 cyl street bike in the course, using a feeler gauge (aka thickness gauge) was no problem. But checking the valve clearance on my 98 FC501 is nearly impossible. The top of the valve cover is...

How many of you need to make an adjustment after 20 hours? I set mine, been on 3 good rides for about 15 hours total then couldn't get my bike started again when I got home. Sure enough, the exhaust valves were a bit tight, so I reset them and BAM, first kick start. Is this a sign of headwork...

A couple of weeks ago I noticed that my inlet valves were closing up after only 200km. Sure enough a leak down test showed 20% and an air leak could be heard through the carbie. I pulled the head off and took it down to the guys at Powerhouse to get the seats machined and inlet valves...

hey guys, When I try to start my bike with the electric start, I usually end up killing the battery befor ethe bike starts. I have no problem kicking starting the bike. I am thinking maybe I will just remove the electric starter and battery and the tail light. The headlight has already...

The Husaberg that I am picking up in two weeks will be my first 4 stroke bike. So, I no experiance with 4 stroke bike engines. As I read here and ThumperTalk I keep on seeing that the valves tighten up in these and other 4 stroke bike engines. I know that when using a solid cam in a car, the...

The yellow coating on the valves I bought from Kibblewhite is supposed to withstand wear better than the base material. As they were "blanks" the coating on the shaft end is long gone. I just couldn't make place for lash caps, so they wore down rapidly :( . Does anyone out there know of some way...
