Hey Everyone,
I have heard a few people talk about adjusting cam chain tension with the motor running, but with the acorn nut off, It appears to be leaking a bit of oil. Is this normal? I'm assuming it is since there is a rubber gasket on the acorn nut.
As a side note, I just had about the worst experience with a "Mechanic" that I've ever had... Lesson learned... no one else is touching my bike from here on out. Anyway, is it possible that having the valves out of spec could be causing the bike to run extreemely rich (fouled plugs after 4 days)? I tightened up the cam chain with the engine off, and am checking the valves tonight.
