    I'm checking the valves on my '06 gsxr 750 and the manual says to turn the crankshaft in the normal running direction. I googled it but wasn't able to find a definitive answer. So which direction is it?

    Typically Counterclockwise when viewed from the left end of the crank. (shifter side)

    Awesome, thanks guys. I may take you up on that offer Degsy. I'm at 15k miles so hopefully everything will be in spec.
