Okay, nothing outragiously technical, but something for those of some experience please:

When checking the valve clearances, you must rotate the engine crank, so that each piston is in a TDC position when taking the measurement.

You have to rotate the crank in the correct direction when doing this... my rather sheepish question is - what is the correct direction?

When looking at the crankcase on the left of the bike, do I go clockwise, or anti-clockwise?

TIA.
