It does have a reed valve in it so you'd feel right at home inside the motor!
That's why the cams were out, to replace the reed valve even though it didn't need it. I figured with 94,000 miles on it I might as well put a new one in while I had the opportunity.
It's been over a decade since I've done this to one of these bikes (rotated the motor down, took it apart and put the motor back into the frame) and I forgot a lot of the little tricks so I made the job a lot harder on myself than it needed to be.
Shoulda done that first, shoulda done that before the motor went up, now how the hell am I going to get in there to do that, that kind of thing.
Oh well, it's done and now I've got to fix two Triumphs which decided to go on strike.
I don't think so!
