valve adjustment (i think i messed up)
Posted: Sat Sep 03, 2005 4:03 pm
I checked my shim sizes today onmy 893 KLR 650 and followed
http://www.klr650.marknet.us/valves.html (very well done) I found my
sizes and was putting everything back together. After tourqing the
valve caps down I turned the engine by hand. I instantly heard a sound
that was not there before. Then I realized I did not put the cam chain
tentioner spring back in before I turned it. I turned it about 1/8 of
a turn. I turned it back to TDC and put the spring back in. Did I
screw anything up?
Now on to the noise it sounds like it's coming from the starter but
could be something else. Maybe the cam chain? I can feel it when I lay
my hand on the starter though. Is this sound related to not putting
the spring back in? The bike is in neutral.
Thanks for the help
