So I installed a 143cc BBK over the weekend. While doing so I noticed a couple of things that seemed very off to me. When setting the engine to TDC, the timing marks would not line up at all. Sprocket was a tooth off from being lined up. I also found the the valve lash was way beyond spec. As far out as I didn't have a thickness gauge thick enough to get a real measurement. Bike only had 200 miles and never liked to start easy. I figured that was just how they were. But after seeing what I found, it does not surprise me. After I was done installing everything if fired up instantly and idled perfectly. Maybe I just got a bike assembled by someone when they were having a bad day? Or a trainee?
Has anyone else come across this before? I was disappointed in quality control missing this one but I guess if you make a million of any product, something bad is going to slip through eventually.
