  @@dennisberg2474 I can't say I've ever had trouble removing hardware due to loctite. Honestly, I wonder if the tiny bit of work if does is even worth it! But it is: 1) Does not make removing the hardware more difficult. 2) Adds a tiny cushion of safety that these very critical bolts don't loosen up at all. 3) A bolt's duty is to stay in place, not be easily removed.

• 
  @uneducatedengineer16 күн бұрын

  The springs aren't quite as important during operation, as they basically just help to hold things taut while torquing the pulleys, which then actually carry the load of maintaining proper belt tension. The springs can just kick back and chill after that.

  To what height did you set your floats? I rebuilt a set of these Hitachi carbs last year and couldn't find any specs on float height and ended up struggling to get the bike running well.

• 
  @uneducatedengineer3 күн бұрын

  If the tech data really isn't available, which is quite often I'm finding, then I do have a method for setting float height. I noticed that every time I set the float height to factory spec, then the flat part of the float sits exactly 90 degrees to the posts that hold the pin, as viewed from the side, when the float position is exactly at the point in its normal range where the needle valve just closes and fuel flow stops.

  I have only just recently replaced the belts on my 98 Valky and watching how you did it was exactly the way I did it, without leaving anything out, by the book. Well done. The only variation I had to this procedure was that I started the bike before refitting the timing belt cover, just so you can visually check all is running true and correct. Also the painted lettering on the flat side of the belts will quickly spin off within the first few seconds of start up and with the cover removed the pieces will just fall on the floor and not contaminate the belt cavity in any way. All in all a very good demonstration of how to properly change the timing belts on the Valkyrie for those doing it for the first time and for anyone who is lucky enough to own one, this is something you NEED to do every 4/5 years. Well done, mate.The Aussie Valkaholic.
