I wasn't quite sure from reading your post - do you mean to say that the Factory Manual spec's .13mm for both the exhaust and intake valve lash on...
The wiring diagram I have (1984) shows: Ignition Coil 1-3 Black/White, Yellow Ignition Coil 2-4 Black/White, Blue
What is the 411 on the Airtech fairing - what did you not like about the design? Thx!

Thank you for the post. 5x5, the '86 has a more aggressive cam profile. I didn't realize this. The 'de-tuning' description that I've read may...
