Recommended Tech Article
The power valve modification, preload setting, etc.. would be a great tech article for our forum. Anyone willing to take pictures and document briefly their procedure. This will be very useful and preserves the information better than "threads".
Who is willing to do this?

My digital camera went belly up before I could document a few other things I had planned. I appologize. I need a new camera but would rather wait a bit and get a nice DSLR than another point and shoot. |

Matt,
I have some pics of the parts in their correct positions for the adjustment. I took them over the winter when replacing my starter gears, before the camera died. What format is preferable? Power Point? Another thing, a simple tool can be made to make this adjustment eaiser. A simple piece of sheet stock strap with a couple bends and three holes. It would bolt to the center case using the cover holes and force the governer in tight to make the adjustment a lot eaiser. |

The funny thing is... I have yet to ever touch the PV assembly on our bikes. Everything else yes, but not the PV. I wouldn't know what to describe for a procedure. I have been following the various PV threads. Since this appears to be a common topic, a tech article seemed to be a natural choice. I was hoping someone knowledgeable on this topic would take the ball on this one (hint, hint).

Matt,
I could do that, but I'm limited on photos. Also, I have a more positive way I'd like to try before documenting. It addition to making a quick governer retention tool, if the governer is preloaded open a small amount with a feeler guage, the rod and plate adjustment will be easy to get perfect, as you will no longer have to load the governer spring by feel and tighten the setscrew at the same time. Makes sense, I just have to try it and get a good number for the preload dimmension. My '07 PV is fine, my '03 was way off and the bike had poor low end and more rattle when new. |

Glenn,
It will interesting to see how your ideas work out. So if you don't mind putting this on your to-do list, I think it would be a nice addition to the site.
