    Hey gang, so it’s looking like I’m going to be ordering a 1050 kit from Hammer Performance. The issues with the spark plugs seem to be that the previous owner stripped the spark plug holes by possibly forcing them on without the threads lining up or maybe wrong size spark plug, who knows, could have happened when I removed them because there was so much gunk and buildup on the threads. Anyway I’ve RTFM (had a girlfriend who works at local university professionally print and make a booklet for $20!) and I can’t seem to find where it explains purging the fuel when the bike won’t run. Anyone know where I can find this info or can explain the process to me? Plan is to take old heads off myself and prep the bike to save a little cash and take it to my local shop for the install and exhaust and tune/dyno. So correct me if I’m wrong but I’m going to purge fluids, remove frame, and rotate engine, removing top end. Also, would most say the Buelltooth is the way to go? Thanks,
    Fielding

    Hi Barrett, thanks for the reply but my engine won’t run (no spark plugs) so I can’t proceed with step 5, any way to bypass this?

    When you disconnect the fuel line from the rail as Barrett described, it will “purge” itself.

    I would highly recommend taking the extra steps to pull the frame off the engine to make removing/installing the heads much easier as well as the 1050 kit. I’d also recommend spending a little extra to get hammer to do a “competition valve job” especially if your motor has a fair amount of miles on it.

    Awesome, thanks 34nineteen. Yea I plan on removing the frame just waiting on my rear stand to arrive. Thanks for the heads up on the competition valve job, will for sure enquire about it since the bike has almost 30k miles

    I use a solid steel round bar supported by a jack stand on either side. It’s pretty stable and you can adjust the height with the jackstands.

    I also use a curated selection of the finest 2x4’s, 1x4 and other smaller flat wood trim pieces under the motor (with the muffler and mounts removed) along with a Craftsman motorcycle jack. The first time setting it up is a bit tricky, but once you get it figured out, it’s pretty easy.
