    Valve Clearances (Yen)

    Thought I may as well put this in the forum so others can see it - Yen, what make was that angled feeler thing you used when you did the clearances on my Twin?

    It looked a lot easier than trying to get a normal one in there!

    Not sure, Eyetee's got it at the moment, I dropped it at the meet and he managed to find it in his rubbish bin after I asked him to have a looksee. Must have got swept up. I bought it from MPS who I think are now called The Fast One. They aren't that fast though, may have to ring trading standards if my tyre doesn't show up soon and make them change their name.
    3 Africa Twins/280,000 miles. If it's happened to one of mine, it's gonna happen to one of yours.....eventually.

    1 Varadero/17,000 miles ridden (of 40,000 miles on the bike), it's all still new to me!

    Cheers Yen - Sounds like they're trying to pull a Fast One!

    I just took the feeler guage pack apart and used the one mid-range in the adjustment with the last 25mm bent up at a right angle when I did my lads recently, but then I'm a skinflint
