Can someone tell me how to adjust my clutch and valves? The clutch doesn't slip much just a little bit in third gear if i'm not rollin good. As far as the valves, they rattle some and seem to get worse after riding for a few hours.

Valve Adjustment
Take the valve covers off and line the "T" mark up with the notch. If both valve rocker arms have a little play in them then check there cleacence, if they don't both have play then spin the rotor over once (1 rotor rotation) = 1/2 a cam rotation) and line up the "T", now they should both have play. The clearence is intake = .05-.09 mm (.002-.004 in), exhaust = .11-.15 mm (.0043-.006 in). Now pull the engine over a few times and check again.

Clutch Adjustment
On the right side engine (clutch) cover there is a nut, loosen it. Then turn the screw that is on the inside of the nut Counterclockwise until slight resistance is felt. Now turn the screw clockwise 1/8 turn. Then while holding the screw in place tighten the nut.
