He explained why but my Chinese isnt good enough to catch everything and the result is that i have no idea why he didnt need that gauge. 15min later the job was done and he said its all good.
Im a bit confused, is there a way of adjusting the valves without a gauge? My YBR ia a 2012 model so maybe on the newer bikes this problem is solved some other way? I realy have no idea...
No
He is a twat Chinese mechanic
I got laughed at when I borrowed feeler gauges, was told to just lift up n down to get clearance
Total bullshit
Once done correctly I had better smoother power and no more hesitations in high rpm
Buy some do it your self it's no worse then paying a twat to do a bad job
