    Your bike has threaded adjusters to adjust the valves, so the most you will need is a new valve cover gasket and some feeler gauges.

    It is a bit easier if you have two sets of feelers, that way you can put one feeler under each side of the rocker, to keep it centered.

      Go to my little website (click the link in my sig) and grab a copy of the valve adjustment guide for 16 valve engines.

      The procedure is also in your manual, but I think the guide has better pictures.


      Thank you for your indulgence,
