Re: Speedo accuracy

Re: Speedo repairs

Hi, I am Alessandro from Italy. My Speedo is not working properly since years. The needle is shaking tremendously above 60-70 km/hr.
I have ordered the bumpers to reduce vibrations.
I understood that Al Marshall is a magician of Speedo.
Kindly share contacts of Al.

Thanks

Which are the risk to fire the bike and test compression?
Thanks

Thanks for your valuable suggestions. Yesterday I managed to install properly (I believe) the cam shafts. I have checked the clearance and I am afraid that one valve has bent. I am talking about intake valve cylinder 4. Before it was clearance zero with 280 shim. I put 270 and now clearance is 0.45....
