[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1462592, member: 19880"] How many miles? FWIW, I did mine last spring at about 50,000 km (31,000 miles) and didn't need to make any adjustments. All four intake valves were close to the middle of the range and the exhaust valves were all close to the minimum. I didn't adjust them this time. (I think that was the first time this engine was checked.) The F650/700/800 bikes require a special "semispherical" shim - only available from BMW and not locally. I would have to count on a valve check taking a week or more with mail order. (I might have to see if they can be adjusted by "sanding" as I have done with FJR shims...) I think your Dakar shims are different. [ATTACH type="full" width="405px"]6037[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
