I have a 98 Classic VN 1500. How do you determine damage on the lash adjusters? I have 6 that are frozen and 2 of them can be pressed. Should I replace all of them? If I replace is there any other parts that I would need besides the lash adjusters?
Thanks
Tom

 

Depends on Miles but I would replace them all, If you have some that have given up its likely the others won't be far behind and thats more work.
Apart from Gaskets your good to go..

 

Hi Kev,
I have 28,000 Miles on the bike. So the two that are soft are bad and the 6 that don't depress are still performing properly.? Those adjusters are 92.00 apiece. Yuk.

 

Ouch, If your carrying out the Labour then I'd replace only the ones that have failed as 28K is not big mileage !

 

Yes Kev, Im doing it. Just got the lower end almost done. Thanks for the advice
Tom
