    Stock Shock Absorber Height and it's Lowest Setting

    I'm only 5'8" and while sitting on my bike, even at it's shortest shock setting, I am barely balancing on the balls of my feet. Any recommendations to lower the shock height so I can rest a little easier while at a stop light. Maybe something around 11"-12"? Also, should I look into messing...

    Adjusting the valves question

    Have all four covers off. have the left intake at tdc. left intake is the only valve to have some play. left exhaust has no play. right side exhaust and intake have no play. Do I need to adjust it to .002" (xs650d 1977) so there is barely any play on that rocker?

    Making a Float Chamber Gasket

    I was wondering if anyone has ever made a float chamber gasket. Talked to quite a few local Yamaha dealers/shops around me and they all quoted me about 1-2 weeks to get the part in. Would using a cut out of a sheet of silicone/high heat rubber be sufficient? I was thinking about just tracing...
