[QUOTE="2Wheels, post: 213315, member: 3804"] Speaking of the xr's when checking the valve clearance the weight of the sub rocker creates a bit of drag so I lift up on it. Even then, the angle you have to come in while checking with the cover on is a bit subjective as well. My manual doesn't even give a tolerance, only .10 and .12mm. If I get a .13 in one and not the other I call it good. Brother had an '84 250r took a beating and never complained even in slow tech. He never changed the oil, tires, or tightened the chain. Bike ran and ran one kick. One Ozark trip, other 200# brother forgot to gas up and had to ditch his bike in the bush. They two-up the little xr back to camp. Now this was a 25 yr old bike at the time. Lil red should have died but didn't. Then after being parked in a barn for 3 years, shot of fluid and 5 kicks it starts! Incredible. then of course, after a few revs the cam breaks in half. [/QUOTE]
