Hi Andy,
Thanks for your very quick reply. I suppose I need to go through that procedure even though I have not removed the camhshafts? I have only adjusted the valves with the special tool.

You mention that the plunger should be flush with the adjuster body at its outermost position. The workshop manual says “innermost position”. Is your advice…[Read more]

Oh…. my goodness. What a nasty picture.

Luckily I did not alter or adjust the valve tensioner with the cover off. But just generally…. the chain does feel tight when pressing it down but maybee it should be that way. I will check the tension again according to the work shop manual.

Do you have any advice here…?

Thank you both so much for assisting me with advice and valve shims. The bike is now almost reday for the road. I enclose some recently taken pictures from the bike in my garage.

Hi,
Oh…. this is fantastic. Makes me really happy. Yes I have i Paypal account, so that way of payment should work.

Hi,
Yes please, I would be very grateful if you could assist me or connect me with someone who has valve shims.

The sizes I need are:

2,50 m.m. = quantity 2
2,65 m.m. = quantity 2

How do we arrange payment ?

Best regards and many thanks for being so helpful.

Parts for these bikes are as I expected…. The twins seem quite unusual here. I think people in those days bought either the three cylinder two stroke or the four stroke for cylinder bikes. I do not think I have seen one…[Read more]

Hi again Michael,
You really know a lot about this. I am very grateful for your information and support.

Yes, you are right about CMS high shipping costs. I just ordered the Valve lifter holder from them and shipping was EUR 23 for this little thing. Actual part price was roughly the same price as Partzilla’s.

Anyway, I am now looking forward to…[Read more]

Hi Michael,
Great! Many thanks. Your advice is most valuable, since it will be the first time I will do this operation.

There is a company in the Netherlands called CMS http://www.cmsnl.com who have parts for these older twins. Do you recommend them or should I contact some other parts supplier?

Best regards
