Take it to a Duke specialist mate, particularly is it's a "desmo" engine, they're tricky to work on, and easily damaged. Cheers, Terry. ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

If it is a Scrambler or a Mach 1 then it has shims, if not it is just like setting a 754...

 got a scrambler sitting around needs rebuild, had a Mach 1 and 1/2 of another one..
