I don't know the previous history of the bike. All I know is they haven't been adjusted in my two years of ownership.

I wet-sanded my opener so I now have somewhere between .003 and .004" of clearance. The closer is at what I'll consider .0005".

Thanks guys.

Is this an intake or exhaust?

I was talking about the cam pulley not the crank pulley.

But whatever, I probably don't know what I'm talking about.  [laugh]

I set exhausts to .005" on openers.

Maybe Speeddog or Brad use a tighter spec. :-\

I do 2-valve air cooled exhausts at .005" on openers.

Its time to check the Valves for me. Last time I did it was about three years ago. Rather than posting a new thread about "isn't there a sticky about which marks are for TDC?" maybe someone can steer me to where it is? Thanks.

MD2.0:

take off the belt covers, take out the spark plugs  . . . turn engine until the crankshaft pulley mark matches teh one on the rh case, the horizontal cyl should be in TDC . . . now is just a manner of preference, start either with the exhaust or intake . . . then turn 270° to get vertical on tdc . . .

Well I got the Belt covers off. (Took em off 2 years ago  [laugh]) got one spark plug out and I'm pretty sure I have the mark. I guess those little round dots in there must be magnets for the flywheel.
