would this explain why my 2 stroke outboard boat motor will only start after its been sitting in direct sun on a warm day for awhile? it will never start in the morning at night or any time its not above 78 and sunny.. this actually seems like the closet thing to matching what im seeing... when it does run it runs perfect, it never needs choke to start either, its always 1 pull or just a tap on the starter or its not doing anything until its warm boat guy, here looking at yall bike guys for 2 stroke advice

Who has the living space for 5 gallon buckets of soy sauce, cases of noodles, and an entire frozen goat? Americans have larger homes, so they fill the garage with cases of water, soda, and 100 pounds of rice. In Asia, people shop for food by the day, not for a 6 month supply.

Word. You can always affect the geometry or soften or harden the spring rate by moving those top shock stud mounts fore or aft, up or down.

Hey sir, I know you posted this a while ago. Just a question, I have a VL800 that's making a clanking noise near the headset over bumps etc. 23k miles. I think it's the headset. Should I try this first or do you think I have to remove it?

Typically once it gets to that point it's most likely damage. Those bearings have a lot of load on them and if not properly maintain can have wear on them but with that said yes you can try to tighten them up little by little and see if it helps. Good luck and lmk if it fixed it.
