[QUOTE="bluesdog, post: 1132600, member: 25896"] I just performed the first valve check on my '11. I was a bit nervous at first, but it turned out to be reasonably straightforward. I pretty much followed [URL="https://www.fjr1300.info/howto/valveadj.html"]this excellent how-to[/URL] There were a couple of minor differences, b/c mine is a Gen II, and I had to use a dab or two of gasket sealer to hold the valve cover gasket in place during re-assembly. I also removed the gas tank, to allow easier access when torquing the valve cover bolts. Speaking of which, you'll want to take note of all the required torque values. They're in the FSM, but I found it easier to just copy the needed ones onto a sheet of paper. Take your time, (I did mine over a few days, as I had other non-bike stuff to do). You may wish to take photos showing the positions of various items, such as the layout of the throttle cables, plug wires etc. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
