‘Sup hive mind.
Just had a couple of goobers come look at my bike. As expected, there was much chin rubbing, head shaking and tutting and one of them asked about when the valve clearances had been checked because he was a mechanic and could tell they need checking.
So from my meagre internet searches, dodgy valve clearances would lead to start up problems and power issues when riding. Neither of which apply to my bike. My suspicion is they were just trying it on, but what *would* incorrect valve clearances sound like when idling?
