A Class
Finally got round to doing the valve clearances.
Had the bike almost a year and 1200 miles, so it was due.
Hampered by my broken and smashed finger, it took me most of the morning (Took an hour to get the tank off instead of the usual 10 minutes
)
Inlets were easy enough to do
Exhausts were not so easy, trying to find the slot in the casting for the feeler gauge.
Good news is that I am not going to adjust them as they are near enough spot on - maybe half a thou wide, which is good enough for me.
Waiting for some oil, and then I'll change that (for the fifth time), put in a clean air filter and I'm ready to go out later in the week. The finger makes it interesting - at the beginning of a trail I have to chose between having a front brake and having throttle control as I can't do both at the same time with the finger sticking up in the air (no I'm not being rude, Madam!!)
