Could you have found a bigger picture. I'm reeling from motion sickness just trying to look around it.

Control and minus key will shrink the picture with each press of the minus.
Control and plus key will increase
Control and 0 (zero) will reset

Overkill springs to mind but... if it's a learner school bike, then why not.
I thought my crash protectors were 'in yer face' tbh but they're not a patch on that bike.

I think I can see the valve clearances from here.


Looks more like a stunt school, how often do learners drop their bikes when they're at 600cc level? I had to do a CBT beforegoing on a bigger bike so had already been weaned off the stabilisers.
