Easy,

I definetely learned my lesson on this one... however, i think the exhaust side needs to be opened up abit or SOMETHING... because the overall performance of the bikes low and mid-range are how should i say.....muffled...especially the feel of the bikes acceleration between gear changes and from a start.

I used .003 feeler gauge and slid it into the opening and felt resistance but could still move the gauge back and forth.
checked both sides of the rocker arm over and over to make sure they were tight and at .003

It had been 7500 kms since my last one so i figured with the long distance riding i had been doing all summer, it was sure to have moved out and it wasnt idoling as well as before.

am i correct at guessing i need to open it up abit at least on the intake side?? or .. what.

thanks for your patience.
