AWESOME WRITE UP!!!!


Now..... I'm only about 1100 +/- miles from you. If you start out now, you can be here by this Saturday or Sunday and do it again for my RK??????

Yes?!?!?!?!?

It's going to be Sunny Florida weekend!! The beach, the sun, the women, the restuarants, the rum. Maybe even a short boat ride to the Abacos!!!

Thanks for the write up. It helped a bunch! In the middle of a 555 build. One question. Now that you have a few miles on her how do you rate the performace? And why did you need to re-adjust the push rod. noisy ? Thanks.

So, did you test crankshaft runout? I saw a J&P Cycles video that briefly mentioned checking runout but didn't get into specifics. If you tested it, what tool did you use?

I have heard (i.e. "read") horror stories about runout issues on 09+ bikes.

And, as everyone else said, what a great write-up! Thanks.

The '07 and '08 bikes aren't absolved from these problems either.
