The supplier of the wrenches said they were ready.

 

I am going to try to get them tonight if I get off work in time.

I will be shipping the wrenches out to everyone that I have received payment from in Tuesday's mail. They are packaged and ready to go. I was short a few mailing envelopes, so I got enough from a store to get these out until my supply of mailers arrives Wednesday.

I will send out confirmation # tonight for ones shipped.

I will still have wrenches avaliable if there are others interested in one.

I have order and requests in place for the first 50 wrenches of this group that I ordered as of this morning. Most of them shipped out today, the rest will go when I get the mailing envelopes I need later this week.

 

I placed another order for 50 more today and should receive them fairly quickly, judging by the last orders time.

 

I am going to try to sell them on the FJR & Virago sites as well if they will let me.

 

Thanks to all that have helped make this project as successful as it has been. I have sold 200 of these so far. This means a lot of Yamaha riders can better maintain their bikes.

 

I have also looked into getting a valve shim tool made, but the quotes I have gotten back are not good so far.

By the way everyone for some of you who may not be aware of this, There is a small issue you need to keep in mind when using this tool with a torque wrench.

  • If you mount the tool on on a torque wrench at a 90 degree angle to the torque wrench . You may set the torque wrench to the exact torque spec.
  • If you mount it at a 45 DEG. angle or straiaght in line. You have to do a small calculation to compansate for the additional length.
  • In otherwords you set your torque wrench at a lower setting to compensate for the added length.
  • Here are two links that will do the calculation for you as well as explain it.
  • The second link actually gives you a pic of the torgue wrench setup. you simply fill in the boxes and it will tell you what set your torque wrench at in order to reach the desired torque.
