Kit Spec Valve Clearances

Post by jimmy 46 »

Hi, new to the forum (well new to posting) and have a question about those running SP cams to kit spec clearances...

Do they sound like the motor is rattling itself to bits? :pmsl

Thanks, that's good to know although it has lasted 10+ trackdays this year without exploding lol. I've recently checked/adjusted them to the lower limit of kit spec as a few were tight (even for standard spec) and a few were slack.

been told by a reputable racer/bike builder that the kit spec clearances are a waste of time, best sticking to standard ones. they sound like death anyway :pmsl
