Been reading the guides on here for checking the valve clearance, but I have hit on something different on mine. It's a 2012 LX 3V 125. Got the valve cover off and the alternator cover, I can see the arrow on the sprocket turning as I move the fan round, but where is the other mark on a 3V?
On older models it looks like you undo the 3 screws to remove the fan, but on this (reading the workshop manual on scribd) it seems like you have to use a fan holding tool 020442Y and then take all the hub cover off.
Am I missing something!

Carl i just did mine a couple of weeks ago and my valves were off spec and needed adj.
I moved the valves using the variator. I don't remember 100% but i moved sprocket with the mark to align with a dot on the other side. Just look for the top of the stroke at the same time. Take you time and try again, take some pics of the alignment and post so we can see them. You can work through this trust me. The dealer who told you not to adj valves is way off. Since i did mine the scooter is running way better and isn't too noisy compared to before i did them. Good Luck
