No, go on... What the hell are you talking about a belt brake for? :rolf:

I've got the 6 piston ZTL up front and the 2 piston on the left side in the back.

Only time I mentioned the belt was saying that you need to get rid of your chain driven fucker and get a Buell :lol:

 

[R13]

The belt brakes were a smartass remark in regards to the low maintenance belt drive :lol: Y'know, why isn't there a better alternative to fucking $90 worth of brake pads that generally have a quarter the life span of cheap car pads from vatozone?

Gonna blow half my budget on fucking brake pads... hope the engine doesn't need much :rolf:

 

[R13]

Good news so far... timing is good. I've found a couple of dry rotted vacuum lines.

Now to check the valve lash :rolf:

 

[94RS]

But how's it running...? :rolf:

 

[R13]

Hopefully a looooot better after all this shit. :lol:

 

[94RS]

In other words, it's not :lol:

 

[R13]

Sometimes you have to break it to fix it :rolf:

 

[94RS]

That only works if you were the one to break it.... You got that bike pre-broken :lol:

 

[R13]

At least the geezer blew up on the faggot for lying about the bike :lol:

 

[94RS]

Yeah, there's that... Fucking ricer :lol:

 

[R13]

Aaaaand every one of the valves is like .10 too tight...

Tempted to leave the fucker that way :lol: I'm gonna try asking around some forums and see what's up. Never heard of valve lash getting tighter over time...

If it won't get tighter I'm just gonna leave it, the cam lobes look flawless so it's not doing any damage as of the moment.

 

[94RS]

Yeah.... The XB has self adjusting valves :rolf:

 

[R13]

[R13]

Gotta shim the valves... dammit :lol:

I did some digging around and found a lot of parts I was planning on ordering a lot cheaper, as well as a full set of sintered brake pads front and rear for $20... figure it's worth a try even if they're shit :rolf:

So far I'm well within my budget, so this thing may actually get fixed after all.
