Valve Clearance 2018 RIIIR

[CrzystghndKC]

My owners Manual says check at 10,000 Miles/16,000K.

They did change to 20,000 I know because the dealer passed up a chance to up my bill and didn't.

just shy of 50000 maybe i should think of doing mine
nah

Oh no. So many options and opinions on gaskets. Does Triumph make a kit"?

Triumph will have what you need whenever you do it, cam cover gasket, cam cover bolt washers, and maybe some shims. the opinions on gaskets is because alot leak after changing, but if you put on correctly in grooves and it seats right and you torque down slowly and evenly and get the new washers, youll be fine, some people reuse theyre gasket they are very good gaskets. The washers in my opinion crush and thus no good for another torque, they compress and hold that cover on, once released they dont recrush.

Dealer didn't have shims in stock when I had my 05 done. Plan ahead as much as you can.

 

[Kevin frazier]

hermys will have in stock or tell you its gonna be 2 weeks and ask do you wanna wait. Gary is right plan ahead, but thats why i use hermys they tell you that way you can call baxters or go to suzuki shop that may have what you need. Others here will probably send you a shim if they have it and you only need 1 or just cant get it quick enough. This job with the people on here is a piece of cake.

Manual is in the link in my signature. 20,000 miles or 32,000 kilometers is the correct time, as specs were updated. Mine were done at 30+ thousand miles, and they were fine, and 100,000 miles later they were still fine. Don't loose too much sleep over it.

Don’t stress, but it’s a normal part of maintenance and should be done. Mine almost always needs a tweak, others seem to have better luck. Which one are you.?

 

[Kevin frazier]

Mine do great, but ive got shim over bucket and im not a hooligan rider like you

I shall remain silent. Will do a full run on the do and do not when the time comes. In massive detail since it seems to be a recurring concern.

Not sure what that means, but thumbs up. I have a feeling you’re also one to go with routine maintenance.
