In addition to the adjustment that Arrow mentioned...
in regard to your issue of smoking when cold and not when hot, your type of oil will affect this. This is pretty common with modern oils. Off a cold start the oil smoke is visible, but after warm up you can barely (if at all) see any smoke. Some of them are even labeled "smokeless". Motul 710 & 510 for example are labeled "Anti-Smoke". :twocents:
Also, the check valves can be passing. Shows up a lot more when starting up if the bike has not been ran for a couple of weeks.

It's easier on yours because of the priming wheel.
Turn the wheel until the plunger is at the fully out position (you can practice this a few times) then check the gap using feeler gauges, in between the large washer and the little raised heel on the pulley. You need 10 thou (0.25mm).
If for example you only have 4 thou, you will need to add 6 thou of shim(s) to what is already there.

Checking and setting the minimum stroke is routine maintenance. It goes smaller over time. This gives less oil...

Should be at least checked every 2000 miles, and adjusted if necessary.

Have you set the minimum stroke to the correct specification? It controls oiling all the way through the rev range.

Just a thought, but don't people just do this to keep the listing open when an item is out of stock (basically to prevent any bids)? Then change it to a more realistic price when back in stock?

ALWAYS be ready for drivers to come out of side turns into his path, is what I'd tell him.

Whenever I get nostalgic about the 500 I remember my talks with the old racers.  They would easily agree the 350 was a much better bike.

That 500 motor is amazing and is very neat+original but the riding setup on those bikes was terrible.  One of the few bikes out that there would feel twitchy yet refuse to go around corners.

NS400R was another dissapointment.  Had 3 and would rather have my RZs.  I ultimately found hte TZR250s were the most fun i've ridden so far.
I've never even had a go on a TZR250, but know lots of people who have. Never heard a single bad word about them. Great bikes by all accounts.
First production bike to be 200 bhp/litre.

It depends in what environment they've been kept in. Dirt ingress is a no no. Also I wouldn't trust any seal, over say 25 years old.

The gear inside has been damaged by attempting to fit it to an incompatible wormshaft. The numbers are just patent numbers. There are a few different types of castings, that need a different thrust washer arrangement for the wormshaft. Reinforced external webs on later castings too.
