Valve adjusting.. last Q :-)
OK so im adjusting the valves on a DR650SE. i dont have a box wrench to turn the crank so i just spun the wheel in 3rd gear. im pretty sure it was on compression stroke due to escaping air from the spark plug holes. Although now im adjusting the valves, both intake and exhaust were way way tight. is there a chance this is evidence of it being on a exhaust stroke and not a compression stroke?? further evidence for it being on the compression stroke is when i shine my head torch down the plug holes it the piston head seems close to the top of the chamber.. the previous owner ( i just bought it) had not done a valve check in 15,000 miles... so this may be another factor in the large adjustment level.
any advice is again... appreciated
