Now that looks scary!

Done.

Have a look at your PM's on the forum.

The camera is a cheap ebay one I got as a present. Search ebay for MD80 camera - Mine is a MD80 cheap copy. The mounting are RAM mount parts - these will cost a lot more than the camera but I use the mounts for the satnav and then I mount these inside the screen near the clocks. Not the best set up as it is too visible but it was quick to fix. It looks like this:

In terms of the cam chain. I hope you haven't tightened it up too much. The chain should have some slack in it so it might be worth checking that when you check the alignment marks. DO you have a manual for the bike?
-
Sorry about that Mike. I must try harder
-
Not sure if they should be the same but it may not hurt to change them. If it is that then it might save taking the top off. Use normal nuts. It will probably melt the plastic in a Nyloc nut. It should hold by being tight against the rocker.

Cheeky bugger! . . . I must admit that it does look quite slow. Speeds up to 70MPH believe it or not.
-
Before I took the head off I would just check behind all of the inspection covers - tappets and chain, just to make sure that a lock bolt hasn't shaken loose. you can also check the tightness of the chain in case it is the tensioner that is not working.
-
When you adjusted the tappets you did them at normal temp (not hot) and the engine at TDC? To these tolerances? Valve clearance (cold): Intake valve 0.05

No. The threaded part with the small nut on it should be hollow. Inside it is a rod. It is the rod and the small nut that have to be level.
-
Look at the timing chain. There is an adjuster on it. It is located on the cylinder and should be protected by a cap. Rear nearside of the barrel. Take the cap off There is a rod in the center and the rod and threaded part should be flush. If they are not flush, loosen the big nut close to the cylinder and the turn the smaller nut at the end of the threaded part until it is flush with the inner rod. Tighten up the big lock nut and the replace the cap.

Hi and welcome to the forum It is never a good idea to skip a dinner and make sure that you always have breakfast.

Without the police protecting the fabric of society, it would be a much worse place out there. That said there are some bad ones that you do come across. I've normally done what they say so when they say they are going to give me a ticket I normally reply "thank you very much" in a polite way. I would argue the toss if they just made things up though!.

Cheers Al. A better ride in the dry and there are quite a few drivers that do pull over. I did notice that this doesn't play straight "out of the box" on some PC's so it is now on the start of my video wall HERE

Link Edited the link due to it not playing on some PC's. It is the right hand side video. It may take a few seconds to load. Slighty wet. Ignore the date. It was taken today (same day as the post date).

If you need to write code and dont want it to render, use the <> icon to the right of the image icon.

True but we have to have something to do when we are work so back to the browser version in Opera.
