Hurry up and get that bike together n1ck! Were heading out on Sat. You can see my new 140 rip.
yeah nick thats where alot of confusion comes into play with the masses
"" and mm
the new school dont have a big understanding of the imperial times
i set them at .005mm and .006mm if set any smaller i find they run fluffy and tends to cause higher temp on the exhaust valve and that can cause valve burn
and dont get mm and " mixed up as 2 thou is .005 mm
and to wogtaz to loose can cause wear and shock loading on valve train componants
upto 10thou is aceptable on these motors
before any one starts arguing i do this stuff for a living.
from memory the vertical engines run higher clearance or it might be the hotter the engine runs dunno cactus should be able to clear that up for us
Well im glad your not my mechanic! ;p Either thats a typo or your maths is wrong, just a decimal point though... 0.1mm is approx 4thou/0.004inch, to be pedantic 0.0251mm is the same as 1thousands of an inch exactly.
