[QUOTE="stryg8r, post: 199403, member: 243"] I did my first valve check this weekend. All were within spec except for the #4 cylinder exhaust valve (the one closest to the cam sprocket). It was .006 so out came the cams. I used the manual and Dwayne Verhey's write-up from [URL="https://www.fjr1300.info/howto/valveadj.html"]FJR1300.info[/URL] which made it a relatively easy job. The only thing I could add is if you have to pull the exhaust cam you need to move the intake cam first. The numbers on the pad are worn off so I'll get it mic'd today and hopefully the dealer will have the size I need. I'm a little concered because most of my clearances were right on the edge of being too tight. But without a reference point its not known how much they've tightened up. They could have all been set this way at the factory. It will be interesting when I check then again to see if they're still within specs. #1 #2 #3 #4 EX1 .007 .008 .007 .008 EX2 .007 .007 .008 [B].006[/B] IN1 .006 .006 .006 .007 IN2 .006 .006 .006 .006 Derek [/QUOTE]
