A tip to help with the valve stem, I found a tool called a tube snake that threads into the valve stem in place of the stem core. You run the wire through the rim, thread it into the tube, then when you get to the part you need to pull the stem through, you just have to line it up and yank the handle of the snake and viola, a valve stem through the rim.

I found a few on tooltopia that seem to fit the bill. Here's a link to a search page on their site where I found them.

Thanks man. I haven't got to play with the clickers yet on the bike. The rear feels a little soft, the forks seems really soft. Haha. My old 450 was that way too. I'm pumped about the 690, overall. Might even be enough to let go of my Kx 500. Then again, I don't know. That 500 is a load of fun.

I think the first band was the hypnotunez,  the second was chewbaska, and the last was skankshot. I usually just use the engines for my soundtrack, but for some reason dad's gopro dumped the audio when he saved it on my thumb drive.

My dad's going to be 56 this year. He's pretty awesome.

Well,  I finally traded my aging 04 450 exc in for my new 690 Friday. Promptly loaded it up and headed to Texas to ride it with my dad and brother. Here is part of the helmet cam video with my dad following on his xr650r.
