[QUOTE="hppants, post: 1009959, member: 27852"] Bumpsie.... It's time for my first scheduled valve check. I called the most highly reccommended yamaha dealer in the State. The estimate? $1,000.00!! I'm going to re-think doing it myself. Using the horrible search feature on this forum (sorry mods, but it's true), I looked, but could not find a picturesque "how to" on valve adjustement. Can anyone point to a linky? Edit - Any other tips is appreciated. If I tackle this myself, I will buy the freaking $100.00 shop manual. I've never done a valve lash adjustment on a bike. I've done brake pads, fork seals, regular maintenance, etc. I'm prolly only suffering from "Kennedy-itis" ("The only think we have to fear.....") - still, before I get into it, I'd like to know more. Edit again - As RadioHowie points out, my American History is cloudy and I confused FDR with JFK. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
