GN125H valve clearance troubles (No clearance?)

Post #75.

That's evidence of nothing but the fact that that particular engine does not have these springs. How do you explain what I saw in my engine?

Oh man, look what I found, and example of an engine with return springs on the rocker arms! (Image attached)

If your GN125 motor has springs like that on the rocker arms they have been fitted by a previous owner.

They are certainly not original GN125 parts.

Your engine is not a standard GN125 and is either a Ducati or a 1950's Parilia or possibly A GN125Unicorn

Oh, of course! Why didn't anyone else think of that? Oh wait.

Is it an OEM part? Dunno. Should they be there? No clue. But I know with 100% certainty that they are there.

I wouldn't assert that it's an OEM thing, maybe it's some kind of weird aftermarket modification? In any case, *someone* (some idiot, for all i know) thought it was a good idea to stick some springs in there.

Did I ever say it was a standard gn125? No, I didn't.

So its been forked with. No wonder it doesn't rev in high gears. Stop filling it with diesel could help.

Oh, so you're saying, someone broke it, so now there's something wrong with it? Now there's an interesting theory.

Are you sure its not a Ducati that somebody has put Suzuki stickers on to get it on the Lams list?

Or a ducati sticker on a hyosung?

My bikes run fine thanks.
Your bike needs more work less words.

I have an Agusta sticker on my CPI. Does 10k rpm in all 1 gears.

Funny lookin GN125.

So I had a go at taking a picture through the valve inspection cap, to avoid taking the cover off again. It's a bit blurry, but you can clearly see some strange coils, that's the spring. Hopefully this will at least prove I do indeed have a gn125

I couldn't agree more. Unfortunately a thread that should have ended after the second post has expanded to a 7 page debate on whether or not my rockers have return springs. Colour me confused.

Your lucky a gn125 thread lasted this long. Could be a KB record.

Pretty Sure Kickaha would have one longer and considerably more boring.

Looks like the later models have a spring there for sideways location of the rocker. No idea why, the earlier setup works fine...
It will not be a return spring for the rocker, just sideways location.

Since i got involved, no boring...just a barrel off something, well, a LOT bigger.....
