It takes a matter of minutes to take off the seat and tank. Youi'lll appreciate the access, plus you can check for other loose items and wire routing.

Why are you removing the side case? Those screws are impacted on from the factory. (EDIT: My error! I was thinking you may be taking off the entire case, not the small side cover. Apologies....)

For finding TDC, get the valve cover off first, remove the plug and roll the kickstarter. When you see the intake valve close, roll the kicker until you see the top of the piston in the plug hole at the top of the stroke. That's TDC compression stroke.

The spark plug is 18mm. Yes...I had to buy one too.

Make sure the bike is ice cold, overnight for a valve adjustment. I've always set .05mm intake and .08mm exhaust.
