    Funky valve stuff

    Okay so like every 200-300 miles my valves get loud and keep falling out of spec. I know that they will lose there adjustment after a while but I feel like that’s way to frequent. Only known issue I have is a possible bad guide seal in the right head. I run .003 and .006. Any thoughts?

    7 pack vs 6 pack clutch

    any huge difference between the two? pros and cons of each, and are they universal? I have the 6 pack on my current motor and the baskets got like a 1/8 inch of play. I want to swap the whole 7 pack assembly from a spare motor I have. Thanks guys.

    so im going to make my connections tonight. Instructions are on point but i would like to see a basic wiring diagram to keep handy just for refrence. I found this. How does everybodys using this system feel about it? All im doing now is trying to fire so lights / indicators are irrelevant.

    Has anybody ever seen a plug do this?

    This plug looks half burnt and half spotless. No tanish color. One sides burnt, the others shiny metal. My other cylinder is spot on with a slight tan color. This was taken after a day of riding yesterday.
