Thank you for the appreciation. Do not adjust the tappets before 15 k kms unless they are making unusual noise. There is a gasket (a rubber one) which I did not separate as it was good to go. But it is a good practice to have it replaced when you take off the cover. When buying the tappet adjuster tool, tell the guy to provide you with a standard motorcycle tappet adjuster (also known as Tappet Puller). He will understand. Thanks.

@@DipayanBose I don't hear any unusual noises now, but the maintenance schedule says to check at 6000 km, so I still want to open the cylinder head and check for myself. You were right, there is a rubber gasket and I found the part number: 12391k0z900. I could only find one place in Taiwan which carries this part and that is the problem with riding the CB350 outside India: service and parts are difficult to get. I found that ordering from India is also near to impossible. A pity, because the bike itself is a great one. About the tappet adjuster: I found ones that were 3 and 4 mm, but I'll ask for the standard version when I get one (whichever size that is). Thanks for the reply. Keep making these great videos.

Don't adjust clearance. It's not necessary until hear noisy tappets. I ran 22k. So far it's not needed.

Thanks bro. Thats grease. A better quality one. Any good grease would do the job.

Although in the manual it says to check this in 3rd service, however don’t disturb the settings till 25000 kms. But it depends on certain other factors as well. If bad petrol gets burnt in the engine, or bike being ridden very rough, you would find a typical tik tik noise in morning/cold start of the engine. When engine becomes hot it produces certain extra noise a little bit, thats normal. If ever you hear any abnormal noise when cold starting the engine, take it to the service centre and have it checked. Never try to have it done locally. Trust the ASC Guys. As per my personal experience, if you take care of your bike, and use it with love, till 25000 kms, no need to disturb the tappets. Ride safe. Thanks

Thanks. I am very passionate about these things hence learnt it with time.

@@DipayanBose the courage to do this also gets a cheers👏 I would love to do this ...but scared... whether i will mess this😊

@@alanbenny7962 if you really want to do it yourself, initially do it under the supervision of a good technician. Later you would be able to do it alone. That is the right way to go.

​@@DipayanBoseok brother ❤

Tappets could be a cause of overheating or improper fuel milage. Since you have adjusted it once, I would suggest take it to a good mechanic, have it checked again. check it when the engine is cold to touch.

hey@@DipayanBose thanks for the reply. I just have one general question i.e. is it actually recommended to go to a local service person for valve clearance or is it better to get it fixed from bigwing service? Because I feel there are lots of intrinsic measurements involved and I am not sure whether a local service centre can actually fix these kind of issues. Also would love to know where you got your valve clearance done. I reckon you mentioned that it was done by your friend mechanic. I just wanted to know whether you guys are based in Bangalore. Thanks!

@@muralikrishnan9791 I am from Kolkata. In Bangalore I am sure you would find many good mechanics to have the valve clearance checked. Few of them will definitely be much better than ASC. However if you can convince the big wing guys to check it again, you would have more peace of mind.

Periodic maintenance ke hisab se every 25000 kms ke bad check or adjust karni chahiye. Agar noise ati hay to bhi adjust karna parta hay. Mere bike me different adjustment kia hua hay ta ki city may better chal sake. Top end thora kaam hoga lekin low end better.

Pls send me the clip at dipayan_bose@hotmail.com. Let me check. Will get back

Its not required Sir. Generally it stays good.

Ok

Where did you find shop manual. Can you please provide link to it or way to purchase it?

​@@DipayanBoseПривет! Двигатель точно из чугуна? Или из алюминия?

@@DipayanBose that's awesome boss, you are like me. I do all these on my unicorn 160, hness will be my next bike
