I really appreciated this video. I struggled, and I don't know that I did a perfect job but things seem hopeful as I just ran it idling for a good 30 minutes. F'in "new" amazon turn signals aren't working so that's next I guess. Thank you
Running an engine with the valves out of spec can harm the engine. Typically you will hear valve clearance that is to loose but not when they are to tight and the tight valves can damage the valve seat and the valve.
I would guess around 3 hrs for the inspection and maybe an hr or two more if the cams need to come out. Then hope you get the good mechanic that actually does the job and not just say they did 🙂
Which is why we made a service manual with step by step instructions, pics and tech support for all procedures on this machine. This video is to help with the more technical portion of this procedure. This is available both online and print, I'll put a link below.

Glad someone made this video!

😀 Excellent Information! 😃
Thank you.
What happens to performance if the valves are out of spec? Can it harm the engine or just run poorly?

How many hours do you think a typical mechanic would want to bill for this?

How many miles do you have on it? The manual says to inspect at 7500 miles.
This bike only has 3000 miles on it, we are producing a repair manual for this model and wanted to share some tips.
@@Cyclepedia ah OK, was curious as I'm at about 4k now.
Good video. Not looking forward to this task when the time comes.
Notably absent is the procedure for removing the Tupperware.
