Title: Valve clearance
Post by: VABird on December 17, 2019, 12:10:49 AM
As part of my major winter service, I just checked valve clearances and several were .01 to .02 MM out of spec (loose)
Only 1 intake out (.016 MM); 4 exhaust out (.021 MM - .022 MM)
Bike was running great, and I'm very rarely above 5,000 RPM. There are 45,800 miles.
Would you mess with it?

Probably not, loose valve is a happy valve in my book. I only worry about tight ones

Me neither and my bike has spent the majority of it life over 5k  :icon_biggrin: and has the same mileage.
