Hope that helps.

it's been a while, and there always a different spec depending which manual you got, preset 17 thou for exhaust and 14 thou for intake, run engine till warm , if still noisy let engine cool and tighten a couple of thou each, repeat if necessary, it sound wishy washy but it has worked for me in the past

this is asking for problems, get any late unit 60s/80 manual from suppliers in UK.

if your talking about fork oil viscosity, sae 20s is std, for heavy use try 30s or light modern gear oil. it's your preference!

There are several possible reasons why the battery on your 1997 Triumph Daytona 955i may not be charging while you are riding it:

1. The battery may be faulty. If the battery is not holding a charge or is not functioning properly, it will not be able to charge while you are riding the motorcycle.
2. The charging system may malfunction. The charging system is responsible for supplying power to the battery while the motorcycle is running. If the charging system is not functioning properly, the battery will not be able to charge.
3. The voltage regulator may be malfunctioning. The voltage regulator is a component of the charging system that regulates the voltage supplied to the battery. If the voltage regulator is not functioning properly, the battery may not be able to charge.
4. The battery cables or connections may be loose or damaged. If the battery cables or connections are loose or damaged, the battery will not be able to receive a charge.

To troubleshoot the problem, you should start by checking the battery to see if it is functioning properly. If the battery is not the issue, you will need to check the charging system and voltage regulator to see if they are functioning properly. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you have the motorcycle inspected by a qualified mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and recommend the appropriate repairs.
