This morning, I checked the valve clearances on Scarlett, she'd sounded a bit "noisy" after yesterday's riding. I found the left side valves slightly looser than .004 inches and the right side exhaust valve way loose! All valves were tightened down to allow .004 gauge to clear with "slight resistance".
Scarlett and I went out during lunch to take a look around.
Blue skies, bright sun, balmy temperatures contributed to a rather mellow ride to the usual ranching neighborhood southeast of my home neighborhoods.

A view of the Front Range...
Scarlett sounded much quieter and smoother than yesterday, glad I checked the valve clearances.

I always enjoy the colors in your snow pictures. Thanks for sharing Dom.
Glad you liked them Trobairitz.....perhaps the snow will stick around till the weekend when I have time to wander farther afield.....
Thanks for the reminder. I haven't checked the valves since Raceway worked on it. It's running so good that I haven't wanted to mess with it.
If it's running good then I wouldn't worry till prescribed service interval.....sometimes I've been known to fix something till it breaks! :)
The tree lined road is marvellous, nice shots, Dom.
Danke SonjaM...whomever planned that driveway did a nice job indeed.
