Subject: Re: v-700 heads

Ian,
Thanks, you are probably right I am starting to perhaps get too finicky.
Anyway, yesterday the missus and I went on a 3 hour, 100 mile cruise! It
handled well with the extra poundage and it didn't skip a beat. It hauled
hard on hills but then it is only a 750. It still seems to be running a bit
hot and perhaps just another, now friendly, visit to Sport Cycle for more
tuning is in order. I do learn from them also. Also, at one point in the
trip, about 50 miles out we stopped and then started up again. The bike
started fine, even though I was prepared to pop the clutch (useful to have
the missus around to help with this!). When we returned home I tried to
start the bike just as a test and it didn't budge. Any ideas? Are the
pistons still too new and thus too tight to give when she's hot? I have a
battery in the bike that's rated for 230 cc amps and 290 cranking amps. I am
thinking that just getting something new (maybe a Sears garden tractor
battery rated at 400cc amps) would be the way to go. Best, Bob

Bob,

I doubt this would be your problem since only one of your cylinders was
giving you problems.

And to reiterate....my bike has been running well without them.

Regards...Ian

they are not real plentiful, I have a set of NOS, Mark might have some

too.

If you have a V700 with the smaller valves, that may be your problem.

Dave,
I have never seen inserts that fit into the heads like that. I have only
seen the short plastic inserts that fit into the carb body. Could that

why my bike has difficulty at times? Are these inserts easy to come by?
