I'll be looking at tappet clearances soon on this K1100 and am a little confused. I know they use buckets instead of shims and the cam shafts need to come out to change a bucket, but how do you tell what is installed now? Last time I did this on an 8v I just pulled the shim and measured it and most of them where not stamped with a size at all. Should these buckets be stamped or something and can you read it?
Also, do you need to remove the crank cover to get the chain cover off ?
