Broken valve adjustment cap :(
« on: October 15, 2014, 01:52:46 PM »
So I was going over tuning everything on my new cb750f the last couple days. Last thing on my list to do was valve adjustment. Got that all done. Putting my last valve adjustnent cap back on. Just as it starts to tighten up I feel a pop. Back it out and this is what I see...




So I have ordered a new cap and O ring already, but my question was is the bike safe to ride with this crack in the cap in the meantime? The threads on the head cover are still fine, and the cap screws in it just doesn't tighten. I really wanted to take the bike out tomorrow and test how she is running now that she is all tuned up I just wasn't sure what could happen if I rode it in this condition. What are your thoughts?
