dangerous Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 6 yrs ago I brought my 1100i sport, I learned how to set the tappits myself, 4yrs ago I brought a VTR1000 and never needed to set anything, 2yrs ago I went back to MG... brought the V11 nero Corsa, and for those 2yrs the shop has done my maintance. However the warantee is now up so I might as well go back to servicing the bike myself. Fill in the blanks please people, whats the clearances? which markings on the flywheel do I use for which cyl's? rotate the crank which direction? anything else I need to know? cheers ya all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D = right S = left .002/.004" = US Spec .004/.006" = World Spec .006/.008" = some (including Yours Truly) personal preference (warmish climate) .005/.007" = others, etc. . . Sorry, I don't use metric on valves. . . but if you go 1/1.5 mm, you're off by an order of magnitude. The crank rotates counter-clockwise as observed from the rider's seat.

Guest Kevin H Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Cant find the bloody thing Kev... been through all my old info and nada Gee, it's sort of dangerous not to have that. Sorry, couldn't resist. Seriously, though, I bet you can find one online somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docc Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 anything else I need to know? cheers ya all Adjust the valves when "stone cold." Freshen your plugs up at the same time (the motor is lots easier to turn with them out). Use copper anti-seize on everything. Consider setting the TPS and balancing the throttle bodies for that complete freshly tuned effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
