[dsn_klr650] valves check max or min clearence ?

Post by skypilot@cycles4sale.com » Wed Sep 16, 2009 5:32 pm

Still doesnt make sense. As things wear out they get looser. The valve gap should get looser as things wear out or break in. What would make them get tighter? One other thing is still eating at my mind too. Performance is calculated in the middle of all spec clearances. That means the best performance occurs when all things are in the middle. The KLR is easy to work on. That is why we all like it. Why not just keep it in the middle. Valve clearances don't change that fast on a single that it would be hard to keep near the middle -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Re: [DSN_KLR650] Re: valves check max or min clearence ?

<><><><><><><><> <><><><><><><><> Skypilot, Valve clearances will get tighter as the valve train wears. So going for the maximum spec gives the longest interval between adjustments.
