2talltim Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 It's valve adjustment time and i cant seem to brake loose the staor plug to get to the crank. Anyone have this happen before? Im giving it a ton of preassure just short of stripping the head out. I got PB blaster soaking on it now, and ill try a little heat too, but WTF?

2talltim Posted February 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 put a little heat to it and it finally broke free...right on the edge of striping it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pokey Posted February 25, 2012 Report Share Posted February 25, 2012 Yeah that happens to allot of folks, I have been lucky I reckon. PB Blaster and heat are usually your best friends in that situation. What bike you checking valves on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

conn-e-rot Posted February 26, 2012 Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think those knobs just give some stranger an easy way to mess with your bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2talltim Posted February 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2012 I think those knobs just give some stranger an easy way to mess with your bike yea and they dont really fit mine very well either the set screw is only holding on by a thread, so i think ill just throw one in my tank bag and use it when needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
