I got on the bike, fired her up, and was letting her idle, when she just slowly bogged down and died. This has never happened before? so i start it again and i give it some gas while it is bogging down but it dies again, then i try to start it a third time and it wont fire up at all, just turns over.
So i originally thought it was the valves, as i have been hearing some different noises while starting it up. I would turn it on with the choke and it would make some loud clank noise after about 2-3 seconds on fire up, but then it would be fine. Don't know if that is normal?
Either way i took her apart and checked valves and they're all pretty clsoe to spec, but im not a expert mechanic and dont know how exactly the valves should "feel" like with the feeler gauge ( someone said it should feel like scotch tape...whatever the hell that means?) So i set them all to .05mm (.002 in) and before i put everything back on to see if i fixed it, im wondering if i should check something else since the valves were all pretty decent on spec.
