Hello everyone! As of today, we have 90 registered! That's going to be a great turn out!
Just a reminder that rally registration closes on May 9 so that we can place our t-shirt order for the rally.
If you are coming, but have not sent in your registration, do it TODAY or TOMORROW!
After that, we will not accept any orders for t-shirts. We order a few extra of the most common sizes for the rally. You can only get what is available.
Have you all made your hotel reservations? If not, do it NOW! If our blocked rooms are full at Laquinta Inn, you'll have to find other lodging.
See you all soon!
Got a tech tip for Voyager 12's from your personal experiences, or one complete with pictures and instructions, here's where to post it. You can also ask about tips or procedures here.

Because my bike fall (one _______(edit by webmaster) hit my fender ) I lifted her and turn on the engine, when one boy that looking the bike, tell me that have fall something.
Leave the engine on and go see what happened, to my surprise saw the rocker arm on the ground and one hole in the head cylinder valve.. At the same time, turn off the engine and brought it home on the winch truck .
Does anyone know what can be happened to the rocker arm have fall?

Does the part look like one of these? http://www.partzilla.com/parts/search/K ... parts.html
If so, then yes you have a BIG problem.
The engine will have to be removed and disassembled.
If not, look at the other diagrams of Partzilla.com to see if you can identify what the part is.

Hello Dave, Yes, herself, I know that I have the big problem, but don't understand how to fell. we call here "Hydraulic Shock" when a malfunction of the engine, Fills the gas cylinder and does not burn, that consequently push the valve until it left the rocker arm.

After reading the original post a couple of times I suspect the word "fall" is a translation error and should be "failed".
It also sounds a little bit like he just plain blew the engine .
That's the only way I can see a rocker outside the engine .But then again it may be in my translation ,
He did say it "fell" and hit the fender
Any resemblance to swearing is probably also translation errors .
Say jek7galo do you have a way to post a picture of the issue that would be vary helpful

From the screen capture that you posted it looks like the head is broken and you could get a replacement head. I saw one on EBAY for around $200.00 USD. and the I would imagine that you are going to have to pull the motor the change it. If that is the case you might be better off seeing inf you could locate a used motor and putting it in less work to accomplish the same thing. I'm sure you should be able to locate a motor with less then 100,00 miles on it.I would not hesitate to put one in with those miles on it as these motors are good up to 300,00 miles or more if take care of properly. Just some food for thought
