    There are plenty of bikes shops in Broadmedow. I would rather take my bike to one of them than a general mechanic (unless I knew him).

    It can’t cost more than $60-$90 to have your valves checked.

    What bike is it?

    Go to Inskips at Toronto Novice. They will look after you and your bike. Tell them I recommended them.

    Ahhhh yes, I remember now! Then again I do see alot of struggling Yamaha riders :P

    Inskip motorcysles is a Yamaha dealer based out of Toronto, or West Lake Macquarie, they’d be a good bet I reckon :)

    Is that cause they’re the ones in front of you Moto?

    off-road Yamahas are less common up here, round here KTMs are like sphincters, and getting worse……

    I know, it was one of those that I started and had to find the address of Inskips as I couldn’t remember where they were and when I finally post the stuff up I find I got beaten to it!

    No everyone has one, and no-one wants to ride THAT!

    I should hope 640s have high service intervals they are afterall an Adventure cycle.

    between your post and mine, I Made Me Laugh.

    edit2>i should apologise to Novice for high-jacking his serious thread.

    and i guess not everyone wants to ride “IT” for free, but thinking of Chris’ thread ‘on a serious note’ , the government wants to ride ‘everyone’s’ for free!:P <

    I too shall apologise to Novice for Hi-jacking his thread, but whatchya gunna do, it’s how we roll.

    Get a workshop manual, a set of gauges, invite a mechanically minded mate around, and violia valve clearances done, unless you need a shim set, in which case, have your mate visit you twice, first time to measure clearance a carton will do, secondly to install said shims after you have ordered them, BBQ and carton should do the trick.

    Yes I have been discovered like a seppomenace even by oh mighty Mick of the church of the XRs’ only…..see I too once secombed to the alure of a lazy 4 stroke, I had a 1994 XR 280 engine nestling in an immaculate 1992 Cr250 chassis with trick suspension and stoppers, unfortunately the whole carburettor thing annoyed me so I sold it unfinished, and went back to my Smokers
