issue adjusting the valves
The wiki is great, my bike has been giving me a hard time during cold starts. Ive already completely rebuilt the carbs. With 18k miles I figured it'll be a good idea to adjust the valves since I have no idea when the previous owner did it last.
So I proceeded to adjust them from the left to right and the last valve intake right cylinder didn't have a nut on the valve adjustment screw. Also with the adjustment screw backed up all the way I still can't get the feeler Guage in under the cam. The rest of the valves are fine. I've put 1000 miles on the bike to date. Do I need to rebuild? Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks |

The follower has to be on the heel of the cam lobe. If it is, and there is no clearance, you have problems.

Yes its on the heel. I guess I need to yank it and rebuild. Any recommendations on a rebuild kit? Might as well replace the pistons and rings. Anyone make higher compression pistons for these?

As an additional comment l would say that as easy as the motor is to pull,I would pull the motor before I pulled the head? Tony |
