Im trying to get my fuel moto quickie pushrods installed after in just put in a set of tw-555's and i cant get these damn things in. My throat is sore from yelling and cussing. The tube holder that was in the kit is damn inmpossible to for me to get installed so i can adjust the little bastards. Any sugesstions. I a good wrench and can follow instructions well but these things are kicking my *** big time. Been trying since 6:30 so thats 3 damn hours at it. Im at my witts end and said F it and came in to get a beer. Please help

 

Fuel Moto is an awesome company but do yourself a favor and get a set of Screamin Eagle push rods. They are way easier to install. I had one set of Fuel Moto push rods that would not stay tight. I lock tighted the jam nut and with in 10 miles the push rods collapsed and started ticking. Readjusted and they did the same thing again.

 

Also with the Screamin Eagles, you dont need the tube holder.

 

Looks like im going to have to get some eagles. I hate wasting money. I looked in my book and they offer two different sets. Which do you guys recomend? Was hoping to get em done tonight and ride tommorow but ohh well

 

I had trouble with them comin loose to. However last time i tighten them about as hard as i could no problems since. First couple times i had trouble with getting push rod tube holder in but after 3 times it got easier. Walk away try tomorrow or go get the push rod tubes that are made to access push rod adjustment.

 

I dont remember what the difference was but I just went with the tapered pushrods. What year and model?

 

I was able to return mine to Fuel Moto. Give them a call, they are great people and easy to work with. Truely a top notch company that dealers could learn from.

 

There's always tomorrow. Put riding out of your mind for now. Walk away, do some searches to find how others have been successful, and try again tomorrow. No use getting upset. It's only a motorcycle and you WILL get it right, you know you will, so do yourself a favor and take your time.

 

Not sure how the FM's work but if the upper tube collapses into the lower collapse them and use a coat hanger with a hook bent on the bottom. Hook into bottom tube lift up and attach it to anything above it that will hold by bending it arround something (throttle body anything). You can make four of them if you need to and hold all four up at once.
Drink one for me
Good Luck
