    NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

      Is that rear tire a Shinko or a Kenda?

      If it's a Kenda, you will soon have other problems.

          last post about these vids before anything is worked on the bike, if you go 5 minutes exactly into the last video i posted for the water test you'll here either a tick or knock, i guess it wasnt loud enough for me to feel concerned at the moment, but looking back now it definitely brings up a curiosity. any thoughts? i dont mind checking clearances on bike i didnt over tighten the gasket at all on the valve cover made sure i did the right thing, and since its had probably 15 minutes runtime it may have an accurate reading cold. really hoping its a tick and not a knock because the only knock i ever wanna hear is the one i hear when i order food.
