Hi all, I decided to do the 12k service myself. I have checked the inlet valves which were okay. The exhaust valves I set to .20mm one of them was fine the other valve I adjusted out to .20mm as there seemed to be more drag? hope this makes sense. Anyway, when the bike is idling I can notice a slight ticking noise from the front of the engine. My question is, do I need to go through it again (tank off etc..) and recheck the exhaust valves.

Also, I have just done the oil change I added the oil in stages. I put 2.5ltrs of oil in (in stages)then took it for a spin before adding the other 100ml (2.6 ltrs in total). would the 2.5lts cause the ticking noise? I hav'nt had the chance to take the bike out with the 2.6 ltrs in

I think that I will have to recheck the valves??? but I could really get another opinion. I would have liked to set the exhaust valves to .18 but my drapers are .10, .15, .20 (set of 20 blades) are there blades I can get to measure .18?

Many thanks
