I thought it might be nice to have a single thread where we collect the results of valve checks and adjustment. While wear will depend on rider and bike variables, this would give us some calibration as to how things change with mileage. Suggesting we collect mileage, clearances in mm, and clearances after adjustment. If prior mileage and clearances are available, provide that info in the same post. (Not applicable for 1st check)
Format-Cylinder#, Left/Right, Intake/Exhaust
Spec is Intake .10 to .16, exhaust .22 to .28 mm,
Intake 0.0039 to .0063, Exhaust .0087 to .0110 inches
My data as an example (Initial check)
Miles 30,000
1 L I .127 no adj
1 R I .127 no adj
1 L E .2413 no adj
1 R E .2413 no adj
2 L I .127 no adj
2 R I .1143 no adj
2 L E .2286 no adj
2 R E .2413 no adj
A subsequent check would add a column with the new mileage and measurements, showing changes from prior adjustment, and net mileage.
Open to suggestions in format, or units of measure. If you get it done by a dealer/mechanic you need to ask for them to record the before and after measurements.
