  1. If you are in the disposition of needing to replace cam caps and your cams are worn on journals why not rather have a machine shop re-linebore journals   resurface cams to fit white metal bearings or needle rollers ?

    At least (if my previos advise is shit ) use a plastic gauge before turning engine over . . . 1248326564_Screenshot_20220118-052224_AdobeAcrobat.thumb.jpg.f01a3302b5f9c7c34876fef2fdb60f45.jpg386896978_Screenshot_20220118-052126_AdobeAcrobat.thumb.jpg.4dae69c9075d6a6c4f8f3a4f717f8f7d.jpg

    Query - Why?

    Are those few thou for a steel / paper gasket so precious to gain against the leak potential?

    Made my own velamoit base gasket with nitrate "o"rings  

    Have heard of guys using extra heavy duty tin foil for base gasket . . .

    If the plug is fouling then either the ratio of air to fuel is wrong or it's being fouled by oil.

    Either way the  basic ingredients to a clean burn are compression, air, fuel and a spark.

    You know you are getting a spark when the plug is clean and you know you are getting fuel and air because it fires with a new plug.

    I would do nothing more until you do a compression test. Read the compression across all 4. If the compression is close across all 4 then you know it's got to be the air fuel ratio on number 1 cylinder or possibly a bad oil ring or leaking valve stems seals. Look at the plug once it has dried off. Is it black and sooty or black and oily?

    If you get low compression on 1 then that will create a weak burn which will foul the plug. Once it fouls it won't spark.

    If the compression is low you need to know if it's  rings or valves. 

    First thing I would do is a compression test though.

     

     

    And a wet compresion test will show if its rings

    Dont worry I wont hold it against you as I also have a yamahaha and a harley furguson as well as my 3 suzi's and have always had a bike on the road since 79 but never come across anything like it even my local dealer (bikes not that) says clutch but does not know what part no ridges or grooves in the basket and given the choice I would run it on old school GTX style real oil never trusted all this new fangled synthetic rubbish (now I am starting to sound like my old man) :) was going to order EBC plates as they seam to be about the only thing available these days

     

    Welcome to O S S i had a similar feeling till i tightened the main stsnd bolts but that whould vibrate under low reves also 

    I do agree on using Mono grsde oil tho as my bkke does not like part /full sympathetic or even just multi grade oils ...

  7. Keep to stock unless you have upgraded the charging system in SA we get a brand named toplite my last one lasted 4 years ( standing for routhly 2 years there of ) then died i gave it a hell of a 8hr charge boiling it and got another weeks riding off it 

    Got a new one and it lasted a single day ( the older bikes aint fun to puch ) so i got an exchange unit today il see in about 3hr how it lasted thu the nite
