Adjusting the valves
How hard is it to adjust the valves on the CA95. We hear it ticking a tad, and one of our friends who is a bike mechanic said, you should adjust your valves. However when I asked him if he wanted to do it for me, he said it was a pain in the A*s. Any thoughts?? Recommendations??

Yes, your friend is right, adjusting the valves is a pain. If you can, try to locate where the tick is at. Open the valve cover and slightly close the adjustment. The pisser is that you need a special wrench to turn the micro small square tappet stem and hold it snug while tightening the lock nut.
Keep searching for a old time small engine mechanic...we are getting fewer and fewer. Or..live with it, hey it's an old bike!

Here's a pic of a tool I made to adjust the valves with . As you can see in the photo it's just a piece of scrap aluminum with a slot (3-32nds) . Works fine just fine although I may cut a second slot on the side to have 2 ways to access the adjuster screw .
