    First valve adjustment: success!

    After some encouragement from folks here I finished my first valve adjustment and the bike is back together. No oil leaks and it's definitely running better. Warms up much more quickly and has a lot more power, particularly from a standstill and at low rpm. Of course that could have something to do with the missing tappet screw on one of the valves!

    Thanks for the advice, I am quite pleased with the result.

    You're one of us now! Muhahaha!!!

    I remember how intimidating that first valve adjustment was. Big confidence boost getting that done, realizing that once you know how, you don't need to pay or put up with any nonsense from your ride.

      Excellent. Did mine last month and only because of the excellent help that I found here. Heck of a group here.
