Agreed. If valve clearance hasn’t been checked in a while it should be high on the list. I would hope timing hasn’t skipped a tooth.

I'm not sure what type of bike the fcr is, mine has points so checking them is a good place to start! I realise I'm an old codger with a vintage bike though so sometimes my advice is a bit too belt and braces.

I haven't check it and done maybe 1000km. Should probs put new oil in too.
Guess I'll add giving it some love to my long list of jobs.

Possibly. I've learnt over time to check stuff in the order I listed because the mixture is the toughest one to balance out. In the end it's preference and what suits the riding you're doing within a certain range.
