Reply To: Valve clearance, camshaft, camshaft tensioner – a problem or a serious fault?

[Maciek]

Camshaft tensioners – I’ve checked them, they are moving smoothly, and the spring it’s pushing these pistons quite hard.

Plugs – they are looking good? They are afer my first valve clearance and done on it approx 20km, 10km test drive, and next 10km to my garage. I’m thinking they are not oily, but I’m guessing they will need replaceing… They are NGK IRIDIUM CR8EIX, replace them with LASER IRIDIUM?

I will redo clearance, but if I’m in such a position with the bare bones of my bike I’m thinking to replace the camshaft chain right away.

Marcel I will write to you an email for a quotation.
