    Hello husky riders
    Some comments on this issue is appreciated
    Went riding bike has been starting easily
    bike started easy when hot
    stopped for lunch engine cooled a bit bike took longer to start than usual
    bike still started ok when hot
    camped over night my bike would not start in morning it has good spark and the fuel pump is priming there are no errors on the dash indicating injection failure.
    Operating the kick start compression seems low?
    valve cleaarnce issue?
    piston and rings needed?
    thx

    Piece of dirt holding a valve open?

    Check the valve clearance.

    according to the mechanic one intake valve needed a 0.3mm shim adjustment which seems alot to me the other three valves are apparently in spec - anyway now heaps of compression bike starts easy but where am in 600kms this issue gave me very little notice?
    cheers

    .3mm is .012". That is a lot! Must have been stuck open.
    They usually don't change more than .001 or .002" between checks if at all.

    Keep in mind that the left exhaust valve is under the decompressor. Is that the valve that was tight? Checking that valve can be difficult. You can easily get a wrong reading there.

    Keep an eye on that valve.

    i agree .012" is alot as for the auto decomp the answer is no according to the mechanic it was an intake not an exhaust valve and only one? it does seem a bit strange.
    thx for your interest as you can see i am a bit puzzled
