XT600 34L noisy motor and poor brakes.
Hi, Born again biker here (sort-of) been out of biking for a LONG time and bought a 1983 Yam XT600 34L Tenere basket case a few months back, bit of a spur-of-the-moment thing.
I have pretty much got it back together and running now but it sounds very 'tappety' to me, have tried checking/adjusting the clearances several times but it never sounds any better.
So took the head off, everything looked OK, couldn't feel any sign of little end play but was a bit surprised to see that the cam shaft does not have any kind of bearing, I couldn't find any play in it but wondered if this had ever been know to cause problems.
Or is it just me, are they all a bit noisy on the top end?
I'm also having trouble getting, what I would call, a decent front brake, put repair kits in the master and calliper and must have put about a litre of fluid through it (no sign of air).
