This week I’m juggling two bikes at the same time plus a few others, so my head’s spinning a bit\u2014but tomorrow’s supposed to be sunny! I couldn’t be happier.
\nNow, when a high-mileage bike gets this work done, it really becomes “snappy” \u2605
\nRough idling! Valve and cam chain noise! Smelly exhaust! Lots of engine vibration! That kind of thing.
\nWith a newer oil-cooled engine you won’t see dramatic changes, but for bikes over 30,000 miles it’s really worth recommending \u2605
\nAnd I’m happy doing the work too.
\nThe real reason behind this campaign\u2014or maybe I should say the original goal\u2014was to make maintenance items that were vague on pricing nice and clear \u266a
\nIt’s hard to ask for, right? “Valve and cam chain and engine damper and carburettor sync please \u2605”
\nSo I figured, why not bundle all this stuff together at once? \u266a
\nI’ve still got work to finish, so I’ll wrap up here.
