It will only close if it is spinning over 300 rpm's, it functions similar to an old mechanical advance on a distributor.

I didn't know that.

That's all right, I didn't either until I stumbled across info on how they work. Also if have your heads apart you should seriously consider leaving them out. There are many examples of them grenading and putting holes in heads.

That's what is great about a place like this, between the members we can help with just about anything that comes up.

One dealer service shop said that it was normal for these engines, Well we all know that isn't right, the dealer in Maryville said it wasn't anything to worry about and wasn't sure if warranty would cover it. I do have a three year extended warranty. I am not sure if I would wont either dealer here working on it though, no telling what would happen

I am sure one day I will have my engine all part. This is probably my last bike. It will be on the road long after trip has a new site for another kind of bike. Yeah this is a great site for learning and I learn a lot here myself.
