[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1431500, member: 27852"] I adjust to the loosest 1/3 of the spec. I'd rather ride it than work on it. Use a "go, no-go" feeler gage and don't force it. If one of valve on the cam is out of spec, then I adjust them all to the loosest 1/3 and that usually does it. But if it's too loose, then I'm adjusting it. Yammie gives the range for a reason. I'm not entirely sure I know what the reason is, but it's right there in black and white for everyone to see. So out of range, either way, and it gets adjusted. MUCH more importantly, let me offer another educated and experienced opinion on the matter: Rider more, stress less. You have arguably one of the MOST reliable motorcycles ever built. I'm not whistling Dixie here, man. You'd have to work pretty hard to grenade an FJR. Your bike is born to run. And when I say "run", I mean like a spotted ape with a fever!! So ride more. And stress less, man.... [/QUOTE]
