I'm having the same sorts of issues on mine

how would you go about checking valve clearances?

I tried this at work after seeing it on a website:



the boss took it off straight away when he saw it and put it on the huge printer/copier instead

will post pics later

Weekdays it's terrible as well, if you pass KHS. Those kids (whatever ethnicity they happen to be) don't care about you or anyone else.

Howdy all,

I'm a newly (today actually) licensed rider with an equally newly acquired (Sunday) motorcycle. She's a 1992 ZXR-250C in a pearl blue with gold sprayed chassis and rims, with other mods (done by previous owner) such as shaved front indicators, which have been replaced with LED jobbies ...
