    Valve Shim Job

    I have to agree Sir, I think I’ll check online or at the dealership and see if I can order the alignment tool. I’m not in a rush to get the job done. I must have read the manual 50 times with respect to how to set the timing, doesn’t look difficult but when you’ve never done it before it creates...

    Thank you. I’ve been reading the manual with respect to removing the cams. I’m assuming you have the cam shaft timing tool?

    Wet weather tyres

    I live on the west coast and ride a lot in the rain. I’m using exedra Max tires on my touring, second set and have had no issues so far. I’ll be getting another set when these wear. I like them in the rain.

    Belt Chirp

    Mine was so bad I got rid of the bike. Nothing worse than sounding like a squeaky tricycle coming down the road. Good luck!

    New tires

    Just ordered my second set of excedra Max tires... in this case I’m using them on my R3T, 2 mm left before the tread wear mark and I was able to get 17000 km’s on them. No complaints here

    Choose Wisely

    Nothing wrong with the GS, I’ve been looking at them as well and running the comparison with the Tiger 1200... nice bikes Stopped by the Honda dealer just to see a new wing in person today, I’m not impressed with the size of the side cases and the rear trunk. I was listening to a couple who...
