Can anyone tell me the clearance requirements for the valves on the 600 foxeye engine? I thought i'd check them before the final build to complete my hybrid.

Same as other yams. 0.11-0.2mm inlet, 0.21 to 0.3mm exhaust.
Go for the maximum or up to 0.05mm over as per the YZF750 factory race manual.
Manual available free at

Clearances close up with time, especially inlets, causing difficulties in starting, so don't leave anything near to minimum or you'll be in there again in no time.
I set mine at 0.18-0.22 inlet and 0.28-0.32 exhaust. Replacement shims are available in 0.05mm increments I also grind shims thinner cos I'm a cheapskate and I get whatever thickness I want.
