valve clearance

#1 PostAuthor: minty » Wed Sep 14, 2016 2:43 pm

Just checked the valve clearances on my Z1A. All are 0.09 or 0.10 except for 2 exhaust which are 0.12. Would it be better to shim down to 0.07 or leave as is?

All advice appreciated.

Aim for between 0.10mm-0.15mm

Either leave as is or re-shim the rest towards 0.15mm.
