Thanks both, this is something I've had on the back burner for some time. I have all the ZXR1100 parts necessary, so all I need now is the actuator.

Heres hoping Falk resumes production soon!!

Re: Valve Clearances

Hi all Z900 A4. Decided to check valve clearances due to poor running and curiousity. According to the book, clymer. clearances should be 0.05-0.10mm.

Problem worse than feared!!!

Thanks Paul, I just had a look and (yet again!!!) the rotor has came loose as you suggested. This has happened twice in the last couple of years.
