    636 Suspension Issue - HELP!

    I don't get it, is this post sarcastic? is this you in the pic? The reason I ask, is that you say you think your feet are tucked in, and then you post a picture of more than half of you boot hanging off the outside of your footpeg, as if to prove yourself wrong :lmao::confused:

    HID's drawing to much power? bad battery?

    Off by 20 kms or off by 20% (big difference). If it's off by a fixed amount - it could be as simple as the needle not being installed correctly. is there stock sprockets on the bike?

    HID's drawing to much power? bad battery?

    Electricians are usually experts at AC wiring. I've met some electricians who could hardly read a bike schematic. Try going over it with a mechanic - or someone with substantial 12 volt experience. Some of the older - larger, non digital HID ballasts draw as much as 12 amps each when...

    First close call, last time I'll make this mistake.

    And it means even less when you're actually in the wrong (as in the OP's example).

    proper method for Valve Clearance check?

    That too... Using feeler gauges, you can't easily and repeatably measure 0.02mm or less than 1 thousandth of a inch. Come to think of it... WHERE ON EARTH did you find a set of feeler gauges that go below 0.001" what's it made of? EDIT - my bad... the difference was 0.02mm, not the...

    proper method for Valve Clearance check?

    0.02mm = 0.000787401575 inches A standard sheet of copy paper is about 0.004" The gap you are talking about is less than 1 quarter the thickness of a sheet of paper. Perhaps you are taking the measurement a little too literally. Just leave it the 0.02mm too loose - it'll tighten up shortly.

    GS500 max speed in top gear?

    Wow, you do of course realize that absolutely NO ONE in this thread has ever mentioned that weight will not affect acceleration. You are completely mistaken on your understanding of how things work (specifically top speed & weight). Also, you should know, it's quite common to use an absolutely...

    chain adjustment on or off a stand?

    D.I.D does not recommend 19mm. Who told you they did?It's not a universal setting, it's bike specific. Follow the bike specific manual.

    punching vin number into new frame ?

    pretty sure cops are not the ones who stamp VIN's into bike frames. If it were me, I would just stamp the existing VIN onto the new frame, and consider the matter closed. No one will ever be the wiser.

    Clutch Afjustment. Which Way

    Still, as everyone has said - if you bike is "sliding" or "back end gets squirely", this description does not in any way support clutch slippage. If you doubt reciprocity, go against him and adjust it North East - and report back.

    chain adjustment on or off a stand?

    Though you have an understanding of the main points, you are totally mis-understanding the OEM spec. IF the bikes shop manual calls for 20-25mm of slack, then adjusting it your way, and using the same spec of 20-25mm will result in a very sloppy chain - and pointless extra work. Exactly! few...
