Ah tinkering! Feel pretty good today because I finally learnt the art of valve clearences! :D Got the rocker cover off and was then guided by my mechanic friends how to check then adjust tappets. This may be simple for some of you but it's a real step forward for me as a year ago I thought replacing...

Hi there

Fixed my cam chain tensioner finally, bought one second hand from DK Spares. Can chain now sounds much quieter, problem is I can now hear how bad the tappets are :cry: ! Still this learning curve I'm on is getting steeper but I'm getting to know my bike so much better :D Hoping to take a day off wor...
