    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1983 GS 1100 ESD 4 valve. What would be the correct clearance when setting the valve lash?...I left my manual at my friends house and he has gone away :cry:
 
0.07-0.12mm (0.003-0.005 in) according to my Haynes book.
I set mine to a tight 0.15mm fit...
 
0.2mm inlet,0.3mm exhaust, after years of experimenting these setting were suggested by a drag racer and work beautfully for me.

If you are real fussy when you are checking the clearance use two feeler gauges, one for each stem of the rocker . This allows for slop in the rocker on the shaft. Like i said only if you are fussy.
 
You probably know this but adjust the clearances on a stone cold motor only. Turned off overnight is best.

Thanks to all. As it turns out, I need to buy the extended length adjuster screws, as the ones I have (stock) are too short for my new cams. APE has some so I will order from them. Again, thanks for all of your help.
