[QUOTE="MCRIDER007, post: 1107064, member: 329"] Your valves are not loose, they are on the edge of being tight. The intake valves are supposed to be between .15-.22mm and the exhaust valves between .18-25mm. If it were me I would re-measure and if they are within .01mm of the recommended range I would call it good; the valves will tighten over time but there is a big safety margin built into those clearances and any change is going to be minimal before the next valve check. If your bike is in an unheated garage, that alone could change the readings by .01mm. [/QUOTE]
