Glowing front pipe isn't unusual on them..... MY WR450 used to do it, as does my mate's YZ426.

Not that it isn't worth *checking* your valve clearances, but that's a much easier job than adjusting them on YZ/WRs.....

Oh, in that case it's beyond what I can advise ya on... I can do old fashioned tappets OK, but have never had to do bucket & shim type ones.... never had my WR for long enough


Don't think it's meant to be a massively complicated job..... but a bit more involved than what it is on the XR, as (IIRC?) you need to lift the camshaft out to swap the shims out....
