Valve/Tappet Clearance
To check and adjust valve/tappet clearance, use the fol-
lowing procedure.
NOTE: The seat, left-side and right-side engine cov-
ers, and gas tank must be removed for this proce-
dure.
1. Remove the timing inspection plug and spark plug;
then remove the valve inspection covers (for more
detailed information, see Engine/Transmission - Ser-

2. Rotate the crankshaft to the TDC position on the
compression stroke.
NOTE: At this point, the rocker arms and adjuster
screws must not have pressure on them.
Feeler Gauge Procedure
Using a feeler gauge, check each valve/tappet clearance.
If clearance is not within specifications, loosen the jam
nut and rotate the tappet adjuster screw until the clear-
ance is within specifications. Tighten each jam nut
securely after completing the adjustment.
CAUTION
Failure to properly seat and align the filter element may
cause severe engine damage.
CAUTION
The feeler gauge must be positioned at the same angle
as the valve and valve adjuster for an accurate measure-
ment of clearance. Failure to measure the valve clear-
ance accurately could cause valve component damage.
