I'm pretty sure that I had the "I" mark that comes shortly after the "H" mark on the crank, when turning anti-clockwise.

Thanks for your explanation. It doesn't seem like any foreign material has caused the issue as you mention.

Unfortunately, I do not have access to a compression tester. So, I may have to do the best and settle for it. The bike has been open for 2 days, having it's 'open heart surgery'. Time to put it all together. Thanks heaps for taking the time to answer my queries.

Glad to have given some, unqualified, help..Let us know how things turn out.

OK, set the gaps to 0.18mm for exhaust and about 0.11 for intake. Unfortunately, can't test it just yet as the bike is in parts, waiting to get steering head bearing replacement and coolant fluid changes.

I'll definitely let know when the bike is in one piece and I have had a chance to ride :)

Has the adjustment removed the slack you were concerned about?

Hi nikroc,

Yes, it did. I have now ridden it for over a month or so and it seems to be all OK.

Thanks all for your suggestions.
