For you guys what got no i phone, it should sound about the same as a Thompson sub-machine gun.  Just close your eyes & imagine you are shooting it out with the revenuers.  Tune to match.



You'll have to specify which model Thompson to use, as different models ranged in firing rate from 600-1500 rounds per minute...     Smiley

This idle speed is too slow for the Savage.

Well I haven't had a chance to get a video posted of my bike running on youtube.  Any chance someone could link me a url to their bike running, IF they KNOW it's at the right idle speed?

Thanks.

I posted a link of the bike on youtube.

Sound like the idle is set alright?  Thoughts on valvetrain noise?  Unusually loud?  

Currently debating about tearing it apart (looks like a PITA) to check valve lash, but wanted to get some opinions first.

Thanks.

Hominy miles on it since the last adjustment?

Sounds normal enough to me, idle sounds good to me,

Gettin into check valves is no big lot of work, but its not near as fun as riding,,Make sure youve gota a place to park the tank. Given my druthers, Id prefer to set it down on something that doesnt force a hard bend on the speedo. OUtta the way so it cant get knocked over kinda place. Those bushings at the rear of the tank are a hassle, I glued the lowers down with contact cement,
Of course, theres the TDC compression thing, gotta get that right. Antisieze is your friend. Im still using the stock bolts on the covers, be gentle with them, go slow, Feel the bolt snug up.
Its not a bad idea to make sure you can get the plug outta the side before you decide its time. If some Go Rilla put it in, its gonna be a hassle. Get a tool ready for the day you decide to go in, again, antisieze.

I buy a feeler gauge & remove the ones Im gonna use, bend them in a Z shape with a Ski Tip bend on the end,,
Never a bad idea to have a fishing magnet handy,
Having a 90* flatblade screwdriver to hold the adjuster while you set the jam is a good plan,
