    Anyone? Help?

    What do I need to adjust the valves on a 1980 gs 550e? Is it shimed or what? Can I adjust the timing? Where is the timing mark? I know it should be 15* BTDC. Any help would be nice.
    Thanks

      You use shims to adjust valve clearance. The timing is not adjustable. It has electronic ignition. You can check cam chain timing with marks on the camshafts and crank trigger.
