Valve adjustment.
I finally decided I should check the valves on my bike. Almost two years of hard thrashing without doing it.
Anyone have an exploded view of where I am supposed to stick the feeler gauge? The little manual that came with the bike isn't to helpful. I can't get the **** to go in there like it should(I think).

Re: Valve adjustment.
they should be kinda tight but you should be able to wiggle them with your hands
.002 is where they should be set thats kinda tight
and make sure you have it on the compression stroke or they will be really freakin tight.

Re: Valve adjustment.
oldschool guys like me always ran the exhaust loose, for reasons i wont delve into now , so mine always tick. everyone says you need to adjust your valves they re loose ,i just smile and say i know, i set em that way.
