popping noises?

Having just made a visit to a Urologist on Thursday, I had to exit the forum for a while to gather my wits, Sprite.

Popping exhaust & nut check just seem to have multiple references.

Yeah, having a full bladd,,,,,, uh, tank can be awkward when you need to do the valves.

Glad I could bring some humor to the forum

Thank you also for the recommendations on accessing those muffler bolts. They are on my list of things to do next. I'm finally at 500 mi on the bike - but poor planning has me stuck with a full tank of gas to burn down before I tackle the valve check :P

You are wise to burn off most of the fuel before you do the valve lash inspection. It certainly won't hurt for you to wait another 200 miles or so.

As ElectricCircus would say, "you're killing me, man!"
