    My 09 FE450 started clacking. It turns out that the intake rocker arm on teh left side is mushroomed. The shim is dished. I pulled it all apart everything looks fairly good. The wrist pin looks like it was heated up though. Anyone have similar problems?

    I was flat out in 5th gear when the bike lost power and a chimps tea party began under my arse. Limped home, dropped the oil and lots of tiny filings on the magnet, a few in the gauze filter and more in the paper filter. Off with the rocker cover and soon evident that the inlet rocker bearing...

I've adjusted the valves 6-7 times over the life of the bike, and they are always pretty close (i use the...
