CHK ADJ

Out of specification Adjust.

Valve clearance (cold):

Intake:

0.06~ 0.10 mm (0.0024 ~ 0.0039 in)

Exhaust:

0.16~ 0.20 mm (0.0063 ~ 0.0079 in)

*****************************************************

Checking steps:

Turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a wrench.

Align the “T” mark 1 on the rotor with the stationary pointer 2 on the crankcase cover. When the “T” mark is aligned with the stationary pointer, the piston is at the Top Dead Center (T.D.C.).

NOTE:

When the piston is at the Top Dead Center (T.D.C.) on the compression stroke, there should be clearance between the valve stem tips and their respective rocker arm adjusting screws.

If there is no clearance, rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise one turn.

Measure the valve clearance using a feeler gauge 3.
