[QUOTE="ossagp, post: 206756, member: 1650"] Some feeler gauges will tell you more about the valves than you can guess. Maybe where you are street bike users always tell the truth (I know you are new to dirt bikes). Valve clearances are the first thing I want to know about a used dirt bike. No fuel pump on that one. Turning the tap off is never a bad idea when parked. Guys who can't tell you the last time the float level was checked on their bike, or that think the printed range of movement on the float is "the setting" need to be strictly religious about it. Fork seals are a doable thing for you, but have a manual and get or make some seal drivers before you begin. Wheel bearings should be dealt with RIGHT NOW. Let me see, remind me of why I think you need to do as my first sentence suggests. :thumb::thumb::thumb: [/QUOTE]
