Ok my 2000 KLR650 is just shy of 10,000 miles so I dove right in to check my valve clearance! Not sure if the bike has had it done before as I bought it used but this is my first time ever doing a job like this! Here is what I came up with: Right Intake Clearance: .004"/.102mm current shim 275 Left Intake Clearance: .006"/.152mm current shim 265 Right Exhaust Clearance: .008"/.203mm current shim 265 Left Exhaust Clearance: .009"/.229mm current shim 260 I know according to the book and online I am with in spec on all but the right intake is close to being to close! I followed http://www.klr650.marknet.us/valves.html write up and he or they say that: "I feel there are too few riding days to waste tinkering with a bike. With that thought in mind, and with the knowledge that the valve clearances will close up over time, I suggest setting the valve clearances close to the top of spec and evening them out as much as possible." Is that what the rest of you think too???? I ran the shim calc with that in mind and it says to leave the L.E. alone, change the R.E. to a 260 shim, change the L.I. to a 260 shim and for the R.I. take the old R.E. 265 and use that as the new R.I.! I'm fine with ordering new shims if that's going to keep me in spec. longer! Thanks, Seth
