    Valve adjust spreadsheet

    Since this applies to both the twins and the four-cylinder bikes, I am putting this in the General/Maintenance section.

    Over the years that I have been offering this thing, it has gone through a few revisions, the last one came out in the middle of October.

    So far, I have sent it to 692 people.

    They live ALL OVER. I have sent this to 47 states and the District of Columbia, and to 17 other countries, so I am proud to say it's "world-wide".

    It's just a simple spreadsheet that helps you determine what size shims you need in your two-valve engines, and also helps you keep track of what shims are in there from one adjustment to the next, making it easier to be ready for the next adjustment.

    If you are interested in joining the list, just follow the instructions in my sig.

    692 sent out. Who will be #700? No special prize, just a mention here.

          Steve, do you send out the updated spreadsheet to all on your list periodically? If so, I haven't received it, I'm using the one you sent me in June 2011.

            Happy to send it to you ONCE.
            You need more copies? Make them yourself.
            If you are quick, you will be #693.

            Sorry, my promise from last time still stands. I don't want any award or notoriety.

            One spreadsheet one bike. More copies, more bikes. All I ask is that you don't pass it to anyone else, have them ask me for their own copy.
            It's easy to simply rename your files to whatever you like to match your bikes.

            I used to send them out automatically, but I haven't found an easy way to send out group mails. Just send me an e-mail, but make sure you mention your username and that you want an update.

                  Steve's a hell of a guy for not only making this available to us, but also personally sending it out as well as updates. Just used the latest version, and it was a breeze, even using it from my cell phone.

                  Thanks, once again, Steve!

                    Good thing I came back and read this thread again.

                    Your email went into my Spam folder, which I don't check very often.

                      Steve, I replied to your email, but I am unsure if it went through - not showing up in sent items folder.

                      If it didn't, please let me know, then I will use another email account.

                      Thank!
