[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1457300, member: 19880"] In almost 300,000 miles of FJR ownership (two bikes) I have only ever had intake valves go out of spec - and always tighter. Very little movement on any exhaust valves. Since you have to make changes anyway, have a look at ALL your clearances and choose shims to put them around two thirds to three quarters of the way between minimum and maximum (on the wide side). Chances are it could be the last valve adjustment you will ever need. Double ( or triple) check those exhaust valves again before you pull the cams... Do you have Yamafitter's Excel spreadsheet for shim calculations and recording of data? I don't think it is hosted on the forum any more... [/QUOTE]
