    AGM Battery

    My experience with AGM batteries backs up what Dan said, no need to keep them on the trickler, but if you do put them on trickle they seem to get 'used' to the idea and only sit at 12.5v which is fine except first time you start the bike after extended storage (your winter) make sure the tank is...

    Valve springs

    2 x 1/16 = 1/8, 2 x 1/8 = 1/2, 2 x 1/2 = 1. So if 1 = 25.4, 25.4 / 2 = 12.9, 12.9 / 2 = 6.3, 6.3 / 2 = 3.15, 3.15 / 2 = 1.575 :read: so they are 1.575 millimeters bigger , and they said that 9 years of schooling was wasted on me :smilie_happy: Ha, show'n them now :Egyptian: :Egyptian: :Egyptian:

    Valve springs

    Be careful here, stronger springs will close the valves with greater force which will help to stop valve float at very high revs but they will also be holding greater force against the camshaft increasing friction losses in power output and increasing wear rates in the valve train. Maybe a fresh...
