Technical Valve clearances

[Motorcyclist Colin]

My bikes (at least most of them) have two cylinders each and two valves, which are dead easy to set tappet clearances on, 'cos they have a tappet adjusting screw and locknut!.
Vincents Rule!

3 cylinders? Not a Triumph is it? I shared a 350 twin, with my flatmate, back in the '60's - until he fell off it on a roundabout. The 'bike, unfortunately suffered frame damage as it collided with a concrete reinforcement. My friend, luckily, missed it and slid down the road for quite some distance on his backside - didn't do his jeans, or backside, any good at all and left me without transport!

Correct, it is indeed a Triumph.
