Nothing better than a fresh biscuit with a venison tenderloin or sausage on it.

You're one lucky guy. Glad the bike will be taken care of too.

I'm looking forward to seeing the trike when you have it ready Len. Give me a shout and we can meet at Pooles for some BBQ and then go for a ride.

I just bought a Showchrome short & wide clear. Not too expensive, and I like it so far after 2 weeks.

My prayers for her family. And I hope the book gets thrown at the driver that caused this tragedy.

The Suzuki DRs are great machines. I have a DR200 for knocking around in the woods on. With street tires and higher gearing, I bet it would be a good bike on the local roads too.

now I know what a Vento-V is.

Earl, That what friends are for.

Now that you've found the screwdriver blade, we won't be afraid to turn the engine. so can remove and re-insert the shim tool. -
I was able to load and run Dingy's calc file. Thanks. yep. needed to extract it from the zip file first. Thanks all
-
Actually the incorrect shim we're trying to get out is too small, not too large. thanks for the idea though.

you said it all.....

Gary, Thanks. I can't get either version running at my laptop also using Open Office. If anyone running OpenOffice can run these sheets, please let me know how?

We can try it. I'll take my compressor when we work on the engine again. probably a couple days from now. I was also thinking along the lines of some WD40 since the engine oil will be changed anyway. Keep those ideas coming in....

OK. the next problem is the stuck valve shim. Its the outer intake shim on cylinder #2. This shim was already replaced once with a new shim where I used the incorrect decimel point to compute the replacement shim size (along with about 10 other shims). Used Dingy's churchkey custom shim remover on it, but can't seem to get a good angle with it. So was using small screwdrivers. That combination seemed to work ok the first time around. Engine was spun about a dozen times with the 1st replacement shims and then we came back thru to measure the resulting clearance. had correctly replaced 3 shims on cyl #1 and another on cyl #2 before we got to this one that won't budge. had lightly lubed the shims with engine oil before inserting them on the buckets.

glad you can talk about it.
