    Valve inspection interval and findings

    To each his own. I remove the cams and then replace shims. Double check after cams are installed. Everything fully compressed and good to go with really accurate readings. Some will always take the easy road. I do not. I like my bike to run properly. After 68,000 miles and other than the...

    THE REBIRTH OF NUMBER 74

    OK here we go. Stacked properly. So why does triumph not recommend a new nut? All they talk about is the washers. Bull****. Your gonna need a new bolt. Yes you're gonna need this to not only remove but to install properly. If you think for one minute you're smarter than this good luck on your...

    THE REBIRTH OF NUMBER 74

    Worked on the bike Saturday and got a good day in. Sunday Knee was so bad off called it a day. Well the Creeks came through and gave me a really nice brace. Just picked it up today. Wore it home and Knee feels a lot better. Walking is a freaking pain because it has steel plates in the brace...

    THE REBIRTH OF NUMBER 74

    Found it. Since i have a later year kit in my bike the judder spring and seat can be installed due to one ring being a bit larger than the rest. Thanks guys for the input it got me looking in the right direction. Why i did not install the seat judder spring is still a mystery. :thumbsup...

    THE REBIRTH OF NUMBER 74

    By no means a race bike. I replaced the clutch pads and steels a couple of years ago with the barnett kit. Springs included. The spring judder was installed but no seat judder spring. There had to be a reason I left the seat judder spring out. (thin one) Tried to research all this but had no...

    THE REBIRTH OF NUMBER 74

    Question to the group. I have barnett clutch pads and steels along with springs installed. Spring Judder installed but when i took it apart no seat judder spring. I am thinking that barnett systems do not require the Seat Judder Spring. I honestly do not remember and can not find any info on this.

    It is a must have item anytime you work on the bike. Without it I would be completely lost.

    Poss. new owner question- Commuting/tire question for the 2020 R3.

    I bought the Rocket X just for that reason. Ride daily 107 miles of open highway back and forth to work. Other than maintantence and the transmission problem never had a issue. Overall the Avon Chromes work well on the highway would recommend them.

    THE REBIRTH OF NUMBER 74

    Starter was installed after pic. New stator. New gaskets. Sealed with permatex which holds the gaskets in place. Loctite 242 which locks the bolts in place. Proper tools for the job. Along with a few good torque wrenches. Life goes on. Right tools and the right attitude. Speed means nothing if...
