Aren't the 2002 and later valves, shim under bucket, which requires removing the cams to adj the shims??

Aiy, when reading the previous email all I could think is that the tech used that bolt to turn the engine the wrong way, thus loosening the bolt. Or even just using the bolt in the correct way may have had an effect on the thread lock compound, or maybe there was no thread lock, which would be a factory issue I am guessing.

In wither case, when doing valves, why not just put the bike in third gear and turn the engine with the real wheel??? That is what I did on my '01 ST.

this. What worries me here is that if it their fault and they try and

Very interesting!!

I am sure someone here has a Triumph service manual and could scan the
appropriate page.


It would be interesting.

cheers,
