Got the new boots. These had the **** on both sides as the original. Definitely calmed down the idle and has everything running pretty smooth. Not perfect, but I think I’ve become more **** now that I’ve started to tinker lol. The boot had deterioration on the inside. Changed them all.
I have a slight engine knock. Not sure if I need to adjust the cam tensioner more or if there is something else slightly out of spec.
Slight vibration at high speeds too. Tires only have a few hundred miles on them but again they say for nine years. Not sure if that’s the issue.
Those small issues will wait until the winter or spring when I tinker again. Gonna enjoy the last few riding days. She’s running pretty darn good now. Thanks again for the help! If you lived close I’d buy you a beer.
Looking at the pic, I'd say those boots are way past their prime.
Glad you got it sorted out. You're correct. The more you really start trying to dial in everything, the more critical you become. That is a good thing IMO.
Get out and enjoy the fruits of your labor. The only thing I would suggest is considering changing those tires. Their age causes a safety issue regardless of the miles on them. 74Demon has a lot of great insight on here about this topic. You may want to read some of his posts regarding the matter.
If I lived near you, I'd let you buy me said beer.
