I might need some valves... AGAIN!
I'm not sure on the 750. I changed the one on the front head of my 500 with the engine in the bike, then I realized the heads needed to come off...
Sounds like timing chain tensioner did on mine last year.
Just a quick update: I put about 200 miles on the bike today, the first group ride I've taken the Interceptor on. Everything went well! I'm...
Oh, I dunno about that! That's stuff's about as good as gold! I'll throw in all the parts I have, which includes a good set of engine cases! :)
Where it is broken isn't under any stress, other than MAYBE oil pressure, but the oil pressure goes through the dowel , so I think i'll be ok for...
I don't feel so hillbilly-ish now!

The athena set worked out fine for me, nwo I think I'm going to have to get another set due to my latest issues with this thing. I'm not feeling...
I'm not missing the summer, I still have a ninja 250 to ride!
This is not good. I have the bike apart. It needs to come apart MUCH further before it can go back together. The oil pump wasn't exactly "NEW"...
