16valve adjustment

[smokydog]

I am getting ready to replace my valve cover gasket and am going to try and adjust the valves while I have it off. I can find guides on adjusting the 2 valve per cylinder heads but not my 16v motor. Can someone post a link to a guide to adjust the valves on my 80 750E please?

Thanks in advance, Jerry

And, download a service manual while you're there

A #2 square drive screw and some vice grips work wonders for holding the set screw in place while you tighten the lock nut.

awesome

AWESOME, thanks all, I looked at this site but didnt see this guide only the 8 valve one. This is so excellent, I am finally totally comfortable with doing this myself. I finally found a shop that would even touch my bike and they quoted me 950 bucks to change the valve cover gasket and adjust the valves !!!!

Thanks again guys, soon as I get this done I can ride this sucker without hot oil on my boots and legs, lol.

Without this forum I would have not been able to fix my bike and I appreciate it very much, thanks to all that have helped me.

There are a couple inner head bolts (actually nuts) with O'rings that can cause oil leaks out the front of the engine. The 1100's have them. Not sure about the 750's. Maybe some other 750 guys could confirm it.

I looked at the Alpha diagram for a 1980 750E. It shows those 2 orings as item #17
