RC51 John Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 I'm currently in the process of checking the valve clearance on the RC. This is the first time I have done a valve check. So far it's a pretty easy process, but any hints/tips would be helpful. So far I’m finding the tolerances on the negative side of the recommended clearance. I’m posting some pix of the process thus far.I build a 7x10x7 enclosure and had to sweep it a few times.

RC51 John Posted January 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2009 On the twin the rear cylinder was super easy, but the front was a real pain.I'm thinking an inline might be more difficult.I also found this on my bike. What is could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
