Valve clearance question
Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2013 6:39 pm
Hi guys, I have just done my valve clearances using the forum guide (which is nice and easy to follow
)
All of my shims are in the tolerances apart from the 2 inlet ones on cyl no 4.
0.13 is very tight and 0.10 is a bit too easy to slide in and out (my gauges dont have a 0.12)
This is right on the edge of the recommended tolerance but do you reakon I could leave it? How long will it take to go another 0.1 or so and put it out of the range? I use my bike for commuting so it gets used regularly but I dont thrash it.
I'm thinking of leaving it and checking again at the end of summer when the NC30 gets wrapped up for winter. Do you think I could get away with this?
