Have You Checked Your Valve Clearance? You May Have A Valve That Is To Tight.

i bought the bike not long ago off the owner of shop, he said he just done the valves and to take it back to him in 3 months for polish the valves again, can valves just change like that after 5 times of going on the bike? (once a week)

Once they start moving, they tend to close up progressively faster each time they are shimmed. If you've dropped more than 3 shim sizes from stock, the valves are in danger of snapping off the heads and need to be replaced ASAP.

I second and third checking valve shim clearance. Goodluck, Steve.

Excellent advice. But since you aren't the original owner, you don't know if the shims have already changed 3 sizes..... or 6.... or..... It'd be best to do a complete top end now.

Exactly the problem with buying used bikes, 250f's in particular.

if your valves are out just a little bit, you will actually be able to hear them tick a little bit, otherwise just hold the guy responsible you bought it from, if theres something wrong he can fix it, it sounds like he is a responsible seller if he wants you to bring it back in three months or w/e
