A look at the 2.5 Innards - DIY 20K mile service, including valve clearance check and shim replacement

Thank you for sharing the repair process. The compression value of the middle cylinder of my Rocket 3 is 0. I don’t know where the nileak is. Could it be related to the throttle?

You have started a thread on this here. Share more information and we'll help you figure it out....

 
This is the launch video
 

Just finished the 40K mile service, including timing, valve adjustment, and new clutch install and have the cuts on my scalp to prove it . She pulls so much harder and smoothly and shifts like butter. I shot video of the entire process, but it's going to take some time to edit it all together.
 
Can't wait to see it.
 
thanks for sharing and working on the video
 
see @Nashvegas you just do it! Now get in there.

@Kevin frazier You'll be getting a shout out, when I do post, for walking me off a ledge.

At one point I thought I may have botched it- I was not in the right state of mind at the time to be taking on that project and probably should have picked another weekend to make the deep dive.

Luckily, it all turned out exceptionally well. Runs like new, but new with the Penner Tune installed, and shifts oh, so, smooth.....
