Cards. And valve clearance maintenance

Post by balen1 » Sun May 15, 2016 12:48 am

Hey guys. Bought a vfr for the track and to race a little while ago and was wondering how often should I be looking to get get valve clearances checked and carbs cleaned and balanced. It's a track bike only and will be racing it within the next couple of months hopefully. Right now only doing track day fortnightly but will be doing weekly soon hopefully.

every 12000 km id have a quick inspection if your hammering the shit out of it but realistily if theyve been done and set probably aroudn every 20,000km

adjust carb balance after doing valve clearances.
