Probably a silly question (although I'm hoping that there is no such thing )

How often should valve clearances & cam chains be checked and what are the signs of a pending stock CCT failure?

Been a bit soggy here lately. Where in the country are you, Im in Auckland. Mine was doing this recently. But Ive done the coil on cap mod and yesterday when it bucketed down the bike ran fine. Yep...In Auckland and Ive picked all the wrong times to ride home on both nights and been caught in the w...

Time to resurrect this thread again. I ended up putting the bike in the shop months ago. They absolutely drowned it and could get it to repeat the problem.

Also put a 45 Deg slice thr...

Normally I can just sit there for 5-10 mins and it will fire back up again and I'm good to go for a short while but the other day whe...
