General Discussion / Re: V85 valve adjustment gone wrong…

I turn the motor till the exhaust valve is open and adjust the intake valve, then open the intake and adjust the exhaust. First  time I tried the tdc method the screwdriver stuck on me, probable same way it broke the pen. Decided I'd do it the other way.

I would never use a pressure washer on one of my bikes.

I think It's the same p/n as the loop frames:: 55 43 65 25.   You could probably make one pretty easily.  I think the big challenge would be to find the rubber grommet that fits into the wire loop.

I'm trying to find a wire/grommet cable holder for my V7 Sport (pic below is not my bike), and it appears OEM is not available. eBay has no used ones at this time either.  I did find a source that sells a similar one for old BMWs.  Does anyone here know if this might work, or even better, know of a source for an OEM pair?  Used is fine.

Sounds like the Mistral crossover is wider than the original. Do you have the old crossover? If so, compare the widths. If not, I should have one around that I can measure.

I have a Masterforce (Menards house brand) electric @ 3000 PSI. I can’t imagine needing more power.

Confused, still waiting for download of Huzo instructions to get MIL to KMA ...

What’s KMA ?
Also your own sake and that of the bike, take Roper up on his offer, even if he tells you something you already know.

A 2013 V7 just popped up in Vermont for under $4k:

Vermont’s all cute and muddy this time of year!
