    Default well its running :)

    Installed a 2.00 shim valves are sitting at .008 both valves, its the high side of the factory specs

    quad starts right up and idles nice

    by only problem i am having is a choice. to keep running the head now and see how it holds up, if it does this again. or switch out to the stock head

    Its not 100% yet.. i still need to go ride it and see if the valves tighten up or not. If they do the valves are beunf sucked into the head.

    than the stock head goes back on and this one gets new valves ><


    at the rate this is going. i may be able to finish this series than not do anythign next year

    I'm glad you got it running Brent. Addressing the valve clearences is normal maintnace on these 4 strokes so I think it should hold up just fine. If anything it may need new valve seats.

    Yep i agree dude! Most people forget that a valve adjustment is NORMAL maintenance. Im not saying you Brent didnt know that, but Blake and another guy i know with an LTR both bought their bikes from someone else. And after EXPENSIVE repairs it seems that the person that sold it SAID they service it properly but i just dont think its the case. I am so meticulous that i know every square inch of my bike and every single noise and if it isnt a normal sound it drives me nuts until i find it and fix it!
