FIJI-9-Brother Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 The TL is over 15000 miles and its got a tick i guess. What should i expect to spend on this at a shop or, does anyone with experience want to help me do this? I will pay for time, food, whatever else you want and Ill help as much as i can to make it a little easier time wise, i could have the bike torn down and such.

grapesmuggler27 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 Good luck man. I've never done this before or I would love to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shittygsxr Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 It involves pulling the cam covers, rotating the motor and using feeler gauges to check clearances. I would say anyone can do it if you take your time, but someone experienced could probably do it much more quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxie750 Posted April 7, 2013 Report Share Posted April 7, 2013 TL=Ticks loudly. They all do it. Mine has had a harsh life and valves are still in speck at 25,000 miles.
