You mentioned you had been using machined aluminum valve stems for a while. Which ones? I look the look of the Bikemaster ones that are anodized in several colors. Someone warned me they could leak (because the O-ring is only on one side) so I'm interested if anyone has used them.

Take the right side cover off and clean the starter relay. Several of these have fried and when they do the bike goes nowhere.
That's a good item to pack along after cleaning the one that's in there. How hard would it be to bump starting the big girl (like down a long hill
) if it gets fried and no spare?
