I'll have to snap a Picture to show you where mine is...It's on the Left side of the Engine between the cutout on the left side fairing.

It's just mashed in between radiator tubes and wiring and a whole bunch of shit so
leverage is hard to come by trying to get it off.

I did my forks. Just had them press in the seals. I was starting to fudge them up with the pvc trick.

The PVC can be tricky... but it's do-able... requires some manhood thumping with a dead blow.

Valve checks and adjustment take less than 15 mins, pansies. LOL

Sure they do, on over engineered and overweight bikes, that hang their cylinders out into the air

What, no one has ever had them listen to the valves, decide that from the sound they don't need any adjustment, then charged you $500.00 for the privilege? Try putting some white-out on your head and gasket, the next time you bring the bike in for a major service

I bring mine to Oneida Suzuki once per year for an inspection sticker. Everything else I do myself.

Though occasionally I get lazy and have them mount tires.

Shhh...
