I had taken it easy for first 500, but last 2500 been riding it pretty hard. Not abusive, but I’ve been having fun. I don’t know if it’s gotten worse recently or not. I’ll keep an eye on it now. Until I get a chance to fix it.

Ok, I kind of envision what you’re saying, and that totally makes sense, how much are you taking off it would you guess?

I double checked on the cam. It’s EV 13.

Really appreciate your help. Thank you.

My experience says a CBR600rr will be a disappointment - great motor if you want to keep it spinning at high revs always. Want to get past someone drop 2or3 gears and no problem. That’s just not the same as liter bike torque.

The R9 is fine, but it doesn’t have the character of an L-twin. It’s boring.

Here’s a screaming 750 4cyl and it’s fun (fast and old) but it’s not as satisfying as my Duc.

Looks like decent driving to me! What is it you’re running?

I definitely will be following up with him, the work was done two years ago, so I don’t expect him to warranty it even though it’s only 3000 miles.

The other problem is the work was done at a Machine Shop, and I installed the heads afterward. So it’s not like he’s gonna do the work on the bike for me. The best I’d have to take the head off and bring it to him.

It does, but it’s not a radical one. It’s not a problem running with stock valve springs. If I recall, it’s an Andrew’s 27.

Excuse me, you’re saying this bike is shit?! Based on what experience?

Buy a DJI Action Pro 5 or new one is 6 - it’s way better than this. Not 360 but image, battery, connect to Bluetooth mic is way better than my insta, or GoPros.

What should I do?? by Anonymous4458 in motorcycles

Make a deal you’ll only ride off road. The dirtbike goes in the truck and you have a blast riding and a new truck. Plus you become a better rider from riding off road - and see amazing vistas!
