Nice video. He makes it look very easy.

An interesting difference between this video and the "Oilhead Valve Adjustment for Dummies (http://www.advrider.com/Wisdom/OVADv2.1.pdf)" is the re-installation of the spark plug gasket.

OVAD suggests rotating the gasket to provide a "virgin seal" while the video suggests reseating it to match the indentations.

Does anyone know the "proper" way to do it?

PS. I've always just replaced the gasket...

Yeah, can't go from link. Go to the site and then go into the area where they are posted.
They work then. Well for me anyway... Mac OSX using FireFox.

You need to have Windows Media Player installed. Best is to automatically associate the WMV files with Media Player...

(I'm just using Windows XP with Internet Explorer...)

The links are truncated. Can you send me what works for you?

Just right-click on them and save them to disk. Then, double click on the one you downloaded.

I've always just rotated it per the OVAD method & never had a problem.

I much prefer my method anyhow. It is easier to do, and more accurate.

This was a variation on Anton's method, with help from another local club member.

It is also on my DVDs.
