I will try to get there earlier this year............rain or shine
Heat the area where the stud enters the head is a good idea, as is welding a nut onto the remains of the stud, it gives you something to get a...

How does $150.00 plus shipping sound?
How much, and shipping to zip 13827?
Do you have pictures?
Look to see if some one ( Mahle???) might be able to make a custom set......it's worth asking the question
If you are truly going to put the bike/engine on a dyno, I would wait till then to rejet, you may find out it's pretty well optimized as it sits.
I'm going to hazard a guess that the bolts are held in with loc-tite, heat them with a torch to break the bond, 400 degrees F will do it. Others...
Things to remember: Firing order is 1,2,4,3 Cylinder order is 1,2,3,4 from left to right as seated on the...
How did they get swapped to begin with? I have about 1500 to 1800 miles on this rack after a Hogfiddles rebuild with zero problems until now....

Len, again superior service. You sell more than parts; you provide knowledge better than a service manual. Thank you.
Dirt bike riding made me a beleaver in helmets.......one contact with a tree branch and no helmet will do it just about everytime
Len, again "THANK YOU" for your swift, reliable service, I am a happy camper.
They beleave it's freedom I agree with you it's nuts!

Thanks, I'll check it out tomorrow. Sorry I should have said my bike is 650 Seca
I'll admit right up front, I suck at trouble shooting Bike just developed a miss fire, at steady throttle, on cylinders 1 and 3, plugs sooty...
Depends on how much coffee I have before I start out; I'm generally good for an hour plus, from my house to Hogfiddles is about 90 miles, I'm 67
My 2 cents; to the OP, was a valve job done on the head? You stated the valves are in spec, I will take that as the clearances are in spec. My...
A big "Thank you" to Len for his excellent service.

Clean carbs............what kind of fuel are you running? What is your elevation?
In an overly, overly simplistic assessment.........dry sooty black is rich, wet sooty black is oil, white is lean, light tan is ideal...... Top...
A week ago yesterday I went about 100 miles, no pic's.
It ain't gonna be easy.........Can you get a hand drill over the hole? If you can, get a drill bushing that has an OD equal to the OD of the bolt...
Contact Hogfiddles, or Len at XJforever
