[QUOTE="XR400RMan, post: 316985, member: 20913"] Ok didn't get to take to bike to the shop on Friday, I am really dissapointed. My dad left work and got home in the truck,GOt the the tie downs out and the phone rung and his work needed him for SOMETHING so he had to spend a great deal of time on the phone and then had to go meet some guy, So today(Sunday) my dad and I went out and since the shop was closed he was going to check the valves, He asked me which one was staying cold and I told him the Right Exhaust valve when your sitting on the bike, So he had me start the bike and let it run for about 5 mins, The right one he could hold onto and it was just a little warm but the left one was blazing hot. So he took the right timing plug out and there is "alot of play between the rocker arm and Valve, By the time the rocker arm gets about to the end of its travel it just barely compressed the exhaust valve and then the rocker goes back up, So he took the left timing plug off and it was not like this, He had me turn the engine over till the left exhaust valve was opened and it was in spec. So my question is could this be letting my bike burn oil? I have been hearing some internal engine noise since I had the bike and this is where it was coming from so since most of the exhaust gases were being pushed out of the left exhaust valve could this have messed anything up? My main question is could my bike burn oil because of this? Well Dualsportr I let you know that much, Hate we didn't get to take it to the shop though? Matt [/QUOTE]
