there is a hole at the bottom of the engine going right threw if you have a 10mm rod you can put it threw the hole and then use axil stands to keep the front up more secure. you can either use a trolley jack or front paddock stand to lift the front of the bike first then put it on axil stands. if you dont have a 10mm rod then put axil stands under the foot peg u frames. DO NOT WORK ON THE FRONT END USING A TROLLEY JACK.
this is what i use when doing front ends. |

Indy definately has a doofer thingmybob for balancing the TBs... It's mine
![]() Is it valves at 15000? Can't remember. Easy enough if it is though, sounds scary but isn't. Unless you drop a bolt down the cam tunnels into the engine.

yup.. valve check at 15000. but to be honest if it has had regular oil changes with good oil then i doubt they they need done.

Yup... I mean, mine is on 40-odd thousand now and not a single gap out of spec, which isn't too amazing, but then it's not on the original cams either- the tolerancing's close enough that even putting in a fresh cam and moving one of the old ones everything's still bang on. The paint might be rubbish but the engine's quite well put together

Answers on a postcard Sorry Cam, I seem to have completely hijacked your thread, I'm sure some nice mod person will delete all the offending posts if you ask him. |

![]() connect hoses to vacuum points. then blank off. warm engine up then stop bike. lift tank, connect gauges, turn screw till volume is same and Bobs your auntie job done. its very very easy on a pointy. curvys are a nightmare to get at the front vacuum point and all that taking bloody air boxes off. |
