    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.

    That is the oil recommended by Triumph in the owners guide for my 2001 Thunderbird.

    I'd go to Buffalo now before you HAVE to go later when there's snow in the forecast.

    $250 for a tach is too much.

    It would be good to post the recall here. But no one has been able to post a copy of the serial numbers. So, talk to your dealer.
  20. RandyR
    btw, there is a recall on certain serial number 07's for incorrectly torqued engine bolts. If buying an 07, have the serial number checked to see if it needs this warranty work.

    welcome home.

    there was a good crop of apples this year at Ellijay. This thread reminds me that I'm hungry for a good apple pie. Nothing makes a better breakfast with a hot cup of coffee.

    I presume you've found the online service manual in the tech section for the 1st Gens?

    You can hire a dog sled to bring it out...
