Valve Clearance 2018 RIIIR

[1646bethel]

Hello,
I have the above mentioned bike and I am at the 16,000 K mark and its time for maintenance, including checking Valve Clearance and make adjustments if needed.
So, advice. Kits? Difficulties? Opinions? I need to start this soon as I will be picking away at it, so it will be ready for our always late Spring..

Right hear bud, a plethora of how to. And as he likes to say, nuff said. Thats kinda a joke. Oh pretty cool videos on you tube. Benny kamichi and R-111-R Turbo. Idk has a manual in his signature for free thats spot on. You got this Cam Cover Gasket (again)

Valve clearance check

I developed a cam cover gasket leak and decided yesterday was the day to take it apart. Figured I would check valve clearances while I was in there. I spent a couple of hours fiddling with it checking and rechecking until I duplicated previous results. I was careful to align each cam lobe...

I think valve clearance checks aren't due until 32K kilometers.

I think since that service guide came out, a bulletin came out moving it to 20K.

The rocket engine is so good im surprised its not 40k miles

It is possible in 100 k, but you will be very surprised at how much the clearances differ from the specification.

Yep that's right...

I didn't check mine until around 38K kilometers. 4 intake valves had tightened up below tolerance and 3 exhaust did the opposite. 32k is fine.
