Hey guys,
Im working on checking the valve clearance on my bike and came up with the following measurements in inches, sitting on the bike left to right:
Exhaust:
1) .004", 2) .004", 3) .003", 4) .003", 5) .002", 6) .002", 7) ~.006", 8) .004"
Intake:
1) .004", 2) .005", 3) .005", 4) .005", 5) .004", 6) .004", 7) .002", 8) .002"
According to many DOHC sites, .005" is the ideal clearance for both Exhaust and Intake. My problem is that the shims I can purchase are only in .05mm (~.002") increments, so my question is: Is it better to be high or low on my clearances since I can only make adjustments in .002"?
Thanks guys!
