It seems that everything I look at on this bike, a gorilla has beaten me to it. Looked at the valve clearances tonight and the first of the bottom set of 4 bolts came out with the thread attached
I mean, how hard is it to get a tension wrench off ebay.
Does anyone have any tips on fixing this one?
I'm pretty sure those bolts go into the cam covers not the head but I was a bit pissed off tonight and didn't take a lot of notice.
Also, half the valves are too tight, tomorrow I'll try and see how tight. I don't have any tools to change shims and I'm tossing up whether I should get it done for me or not. I figure it's a once in 50K thing. But I really wanted to do all of this myself. If I do it myself, will the fuel system need to be resynchronised as well?
