Got myself a street bike

I just had a 12 hour all-out brawl with 4 carbs. I kicked their ass. 
I took a plate off that i guess is a huge no-no on these. Because i did it means i screwed up the linkage and 3 springs popped out. I didn't notice these untill 3 long frustrating hours later when it reved at 6k when on. Took it back off carefully looked at the linkage and figured it out and then taught myself how to bench-sync carbs (something i always thought was wayyyy beyond my capabilitles and some kind of voodoo. Turns out its easy as shit). Then i just spent the last 4 hours trying to put the carbs back on. It was the biggest bitch in the world and im gonna have to do it all again because and airboot cracked (ordering a new one as we speak, put rtv on it for now). Hit the magic button and she fired with some throttle. Then i just adjusted the idle and she revs so much quicker and idles where its supposed to now. I haven't had to work on anything new or differant in a while. To accomplish such as task Feel's fucking great right now

good deal for sticking with it 
She's been running good for about 600 miles now. Fuel filter, new bat, and a professional carb clean/sych (just this one time so i know how it is supposed to run).
They say on all the fourms that these things should have been called "typewriters" for all the valve noise, can't say i disagree

Gawd damn and I thought my hog excessive valve noise.
and I thought my hog excessive valve noise.A buddy at work was telling me his jeep made noise almost just as bad and the lucas oil treatment made it quiet as a mouse
Yeah but putting sawdust in it will make it even better 
my point is there are ways to fix things and there are ways to band aid things. Your bike, do what you want though
my point is there are ways to fix things and there are ways to band aid things. Your bike, do what you want thoughThese are supposed to be noisy ass bikes, i don't think there is a "real" fix. Especially since valves are discontinued for itYeah but putting sawdust in it will make it even better
the lucas oil treatment is ultra thick, if you really want to punish your engine upon start up go for it.
valves already adjusted.............................
