Hello!

Happy New Year and Marry Christmas!!! :-)

During my short winter holiday I opened my "noisy" engine, checked again valves clearence and change my camchain.

What I have as results:

- 8 valves have clearence between low and high limits:

- both exhaust valves in left cilinder have clearence 0,30 (optimal 0.23-0.28).

I decided not to tuch the clearence. I think 0,30 is not too big and "loud" problem.

- my old camchain with 57000 km run have visually the same length like new original Yamaha camchain. Of course I changed camchain.

When I assembled engine, start and warmed - I heard that sound did not change much and I have the same little ticking.

If you have 25 free seconds - try to listen it here

Now I have two ways:

1. Make music in my helmet louder  :badgerrock:

2. Buy loud "Akrapovich"  :lol:

 

3 - find a buddy who rides a Ducati.

Hilarious !!!

 

Reminds me of a story back in high school, a class mate had built a battery charger and when switching on for the first time the fuse blew  :)  :)

Only that it was me on the table behind using a wire to short mains the moment he switched on....he started disconnecting items, measuring with his multimeter, tested again - pooffff! - fuse blew  :rolleyes:

Half an hour later all what was connected was the mains cord - still blew the fuse when switched on. 

He was to throw the whole thing out of the window when we finally revealed the truth.... :rotflmmfao:

 

...probably the most evil thing I ever did.... :sorry:

I like it !

When I was much younger, the trick was to charge up a condenser from an HT coil and leave it on a workbench for an apprentice to pick up.... my, how we laughed !
