I figure I can syc the carbs myself with the tool, but still need to buy one. The vavle adjustment is something I probably won't mess with even though I did one a long time ago on a car. Bike seems to be not too strong before 4500 rpm and not smooth. I checked plugs, so it should be either carbs or valves.

 

what part of the West Coast are ya from ?

 

I am in Pasadena, so bout 10 miles outside of LA. Where are you at? If there was someone who did stuff out of their house that would be kewl to as long as they knew what they were doing.

 

i've worked on my bike @ my house or my friend's place
but its never been anything with the magnitude of a valve job
frankly i don't think i wanna try

suggest you get a copy of the manual and see if you can do it yourself
