    I'm in need of doing my first valve check on my 610, and was wondering if anyone knew what the spec was suppose to be? It will be the first time I have done it, and the first time the bike has gotten one.

    It's a little past time to do it, but not thousands of miles or something. Also does anyone have a link to a good service manual? What I've kept seeing people say is the factory ones aren't really very good anyway?

    Also I know I need to take the cam chain tensioner or and see what that looks like. How many notches on that before you guys recommend changing?

    I guess, actually any info or tricks to make things easier would be helpful... I really need to take the whole dang motor apart and replace every gasket... the thing had been seeping oil from almost everywhere since a couple hundred miles. I've snuggled up some of the stuff I can reach but it needs more then that. Ugh. Thanks for any insite

    I use a piece of pvc pipe in the plug hole to find TDC and just turn the rear wheel
