hey everyone
hope you guys are doing okay.
i own a chinese benelli tnt 150i. it comes with a 150cc dual spark efi engine. so i wanted to do valve adjustment on my bike and took its head cover off. i watched a couple of videos on how to do valve adjustments of generic 150cc single cylinder motorcycles and got the basic idea.
now the issue is, when I was checking it's TDC to do bike's valve clearance, what I found was that on the crank timing marks, it has T1 and T2. And the marks on the cam only aligned when the crank was at T2 mark. I've seen videos of other single cylinder 150cc bikes where it says the timing mark should be on T1. But when on T1, the cam marks would not align.
and i have no clue what to do now. bike is new; only a couple of thousand miles on it. am i missing something here? or am i doing it wrong? or is it something chinese and i just need to get used to it? hope to get some answers here.
ta!
