Mine is going on 18000 miles and the valve have never been checked plus i need to do the o-ring mod i would donate mine as a donor
I'm well versed in the valve adjust both C14 and C10... I can do a C10 in 2 hours...
C14 first time adjust will take 2 days, due to the need for procuring the shims after you get down to where they are. Sorry that ain't a single day job.
as for beinhg a doner.....I'm sure every C14 owner out there would "donate" thier bike for me to adjust the valves..... seeing as it's a $400+ shop fee
The O-ring replace, on a lift, can be accomplished in 3 hours easily.
StrawB, don't be soo hard on yourself bro, it's July 4th, and everyone is doin their own family thang, you know how that is...just hang tight, some others may pipe up.....if not, you can come over and drink beer in my shop, and we can tell tall tails till the weeee hours....
