[QUOTE="canyncarvr, post: 1025024, member: 16552"] re: Should I be able to rotate the advancer shaft by hand ? If so, how much force is required ? Depends on what part your hand is on. Pretty hard to turn if you're grabbing just the shaft. With the main rod out and the actuator bolted back on, grab that and you could move it. You can easily move it with a 4" adjustable wrench on the flat of the actuator shaft. You can also move the assembly easily (nothwithstanding seized stuff) with a ratchet on the LH main rod nut. The bottom end part of it may well be fine. Consider that all that's happening is the spring is being allowed to move (at the activation RPM time)..and it's not moving. There shouldn't be any more stress on 'stuff' than when the spring is tensioned. If you feel the spring resistance when you manually move the activation rod, that's a good thing. Still, the pin in the bottom of the rod could be bent or the rod could be twisted, too. When it's back together, if all the timing is OK...the valves open as far as they should..you will probably be alright. With the main rod out and the RH rod access cover off, you may be able to get a grab on the thing with some needle-nosed vise grips? I'm not sure you would have the room to latch onto it. That grab would give you some good torque action. You're not going to be able to see much of the subport until you get it out. Do be careful with it..they are pretty spendy. Around $45 from Ayers. $65 from the local dealer. BTW...when you order a rod, it will NOT come with an o-ring!! That part is not called out in the parts breakdown, either. Well, I could have missed it, but I don't think so. Heck...maybe it's what is referred to as 'packing'? I didn't order that piece..... The bike sure is going to run better with it fixed!! Guaranteed!!! Good Luck!! [/QUOTE]
