Hello Guys,
My friend suggested that I check my cam chain and look at setting my valves.
My bike runs pretty good and overall I don't really have any problems with it. (This is my first bike so maybe I don't know any better though)
Anyways, I was reading through the reference here:
http://www.sheppola.karoo.net/TwistedTwin/CXGLTappets.htm#CXGLTappets
and it is obviously for the CX500 bikes but was wondering if I can still follow these guidelines for my bike?
I'm assuming the measurements for the feeler guages are different for the CX650 correct?
I will have to check my manual tonight but I think I have the CX650 C manual and not the E.
Inlet: 0.0039"
Exhaust:0.0047"
I just want to be sure I don't screw anything up on my bike that already runs pretty good.
I guess another question is should I really be doing this if my bike is running good?
I've rode the bike almost 10,000 km now since I bought it and the bike has a total of about 50,000 km and I don't know much about the history of maitenance.
How often should the cam chain be inspected?
I also read something about self-adjusting cam chain? Does the CX650 E have a self adjusting cam chain?
Thanks for all the help guys.
Cheers,
Jonathan in Waterloo.
