Re: How does the Throttle cable connect to the carb

Different bike, same idea:

There is a open and a close cable. You hook the two cables into the circular slots for them and the bolt end of the sleeves onto the mounts. It's pretty hard to screw up :P

Steering stem length

Hey guys, I'm looking to do a triple swap on an EX500, and was hoping one of you could take a measurement of the FZR stem. I need from the top of the bottom triple to the start of the thread for the locking nuts:

Thanks!

Re: Valve Job

okay I got you, but 0.05 x 3 = 0.15 not 1.5 .. I'm not sure if one of those is a mistake. So basically I have to re-readjust the shim? Do you know why it didn't do anything the first time I did that?

Re: Valve Job

I'm not sure what you mean. Could you explain in a bit more detail? I believe I have 160 shims in there right now.

Valve Job

Hey everyone, I'm just finishing up my valve job and I noticed something strange. I replaced 5 shims that were out of spec, but the clearance for 2 of them (same valve exhaust side) stayed the same. The others are all in spec now but these to stayed at around 0.015". Anyone know why this might be?

Camshaft reinstallation

Hey everyone I have a quick question about reinstalling the cams. Just to be 100% sure, if I rotate the alternator a few time after installing the cams and everything is okay, I have them installed correctly right?

Fork Height

I noticed my bike was sitting on my race stands a bit weird the other day so I measured the height and the front axle sits about 1/4 inch higher off the ground on one side than the other. Can anyone suggest what might be causing this or what to check/do about it?

Thanks
