    syco26,
    I guess bikes can have their own little idiosyncracies, I know my bike hates the slightest throttle flick when starting. Must be a no throttle start or it just floods and has to be cleared again.
    I’ve only done about 5000km or so on my 650, I have checked the valves x5 times….I have not had to touch the exhaust valves and have only had to adjust the inlets twice. Each time I have….be it actual or psychological, it always seems to start easier, have a snappier performance and sounds so much crisper.

    I will go along with that Crash, mine is same same ;)

    Is checking and adjusting the valves an easy task? I am by no means a mechanic but I’m not afraid to read and learn and try my hand at most things. I would really like to do all the mechanical work on her myself as I think I will have her for years to come and don’t have the coin to fill other’s pockets if it is something I can do once learnt. I have a workshop manual on my PC which I would assume would detail it, any other links that would be helpful, tips, tricks and tooling that would help me? Thanks

    17mm socket and ratchet
    10mm ring spanner
    24 mm spanner
    flat blade screw driver
    feeler guages

    that is pretty well all you need to do your valve clearances.Yep the manual will tell you how to do it
