Valve clearances?

[Steve G.]

My bike's got 38,000kms [23750miles], and will be putting in some big mileage this summer, going to check the clearances. If any are need a change, I'll throw it in the truck 'sans' bodywork, to get them to just do that. It's a new bike for me, still havn't got a shop manual. I'm hoping somebody's got the clearances handy.

Cheers, Steve

I don't, but you certainly have an interesting collection of bikes. Props to you.

Just checked my valve clearance, at 43000 miles, no adjustment needed. This is the first time the valve clearance was checked.

I had ordered the three orings for the water pipe and a valve cover gasket from Bike Bandit.

I bought some Coolenol premixed antifreeze from the local Cycle Gear, couldn't find distilled water at the market to mix with my antifreeze.

Put in a new set of Iridium plugs while I had the tank lifted.

I didn't remove any side cover on the motor to turn it over by hand, just used the starter button to bump it to the next valve.

Whole job took less than two hours.
