[QUOTE="James, post: 79990, member: 2"] :thumb: Means that you're actually riding it and she isn't just a garage queen. :noidea: I picked up a nice Craftsman 5-80 ft. lbs torque wrench, a few years ago, while it was on sale for $50. Sure it might cost you the same to buy the tools as it would be to just have the shop do it. However what happens the next time? Back when I first got my bike I didn't have any tools or "know-how" on how to work on a (4 stroke) bike. So I sent it off to the shop to have the valves adjusted. One ride and $300 later I come to find out that it still wasn't right. I wasn't about to pay the guy $80 a hour to "not" fix it again. :foul: Instead I want out and spent $500+ on a nice tool set, haven't had it back to the shop since. :ride: Just create a thread in the appropriate section and we'll gladly help out. BTW here are some How-To articles Dan wrote. :thumb: Part 1 - [url]https://www.dirtbikeaddicts.com/forum/content/198-two-stroke-top-end-inspection-replacement-part-1.html[/url] Part 2 - [url]https://www.dirtbikeaddicts.com/forum/content/199-two-stroke-top-end-inspection-replacement-part-2.html[/url] Part 3 - [url]https://www.dirtbikeaddicts.com/forum/content/200-two-stroke-top-end-inspection-replacement-part-3.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
