| Feeler gauges for valve adjustment?
I looked my data over and will need the same sizes you folks require when I'm due for an adjustment. 14 out of 16 were still at the max allowable clearance after 10,500 miles of riding since the first adjust, so I think it'll be quite some time before I have to change any shims.
You folks are in the same situation I was in in late 2002. Fortunately, if you set them well now, you may never need to adjust them again (assuming that like most people, you ride <7500 miles a year, and get rid of the bike before 40,000 miles piles on). |
