carb synch, replaced a crush washer in the front brake system (and accidentally sprayed brake fluid all over my paint), buffed the paint to repair damage from the brake fluid incident, put the left side fairings back on, adjusted clutch, cursed at the rain.sigpic

Weds, did valve adjust, took my time, took about 6 hrs start to finish, started it, and sounded GREAT.
Thursday, start it up, ride, have a HORRIBLE clatter start under the cover.
Take it all apart again, find out a tappet lock nut spun off, and disappeared in teh engine.
so, all day, I tore off the oil cooler, and exhaust, and pan, found the nut, reinstalled, triple checked the torque on each nut after doing another valve adjust.
spent the rest of the day, til about 10:30pm reassembling. started it, took it for a 20 min test ride. sounds fine, hope it stays that way.
tomorrow it gets a bath to get all the greasy fingerprints off.
heres hoping nothing loosens up again, the last 2 days totally SUCKED

dont I know it!
luckily, it popped right down the oil return by cylinder 4.. not a mark on the nut.
I can only imagine if it had bounced into a spring while its being compressed...
rode her today before the rain.. alls good!
