Got my 6 speed TempX in! I greased every bearing I could find and put blue threadlocker on most the bolts. I couldn't find any torque specs, so I just used common values from other bikes. I changed the oil, ran it for 20 min, then changed it again. Just got my spoke torque wrench in, so I need to check the spokes. I plan on riding it around a bit and see how it performs before I jet the carb. I have a few issues that I need help/advice with. First, the wheel bearings on the front and rear wheels are very stiff. I mean, I can get them to turn, but it takes a lot. Are stiff bearings normal? I'm hoping that they will loosen up after riding a bit. I am also hearing a ticking/tapping noise coming from the engine. Could it be loose valves? I plan on checking the clearance tonight, but I have no idea what it should be? Any suggestions on valve clearance values? Thanks
