Checking valve clearances
e
Attention:
Never unscrew the spark plugs before measuring
valve clearances. Particles of oily soot could beco-
me lodged behind the exhaust valve head and falsify
the measurement.
The engine temperature must not exceed 35 °C
(95 °F) when the valve clearance is being measured.
–
Remove left side section of fairing (
a
46.10).
–
Remove cylinder head cover (
a
11.15).
•
Turn the engine by the rear wheel.
•
Measure the valve clearance using a feeler gau-
ge and make a note.
•
Determine if a replacement tappet is required by
comparing the actual clearance with the speci-
fied clearance.
Valve clearances:
Inlet ............... 0.15…0.20 mm (0.0059 ... 0.0079 in)
Exhaust ......... 0.25…0.30 mm (0.0098 ... 0.0118 in)
