GS850 Valve Adjustment PDF is online

[Guest]

Hello friends,

Forgive the shameless tooting of my own horn.

Mr. bwringer will soon have another great tutorial on his website concerning this subject. His will of course have the in-depth detail and polish for which he is known. I'm honored that he would use some of my material.

For those of you who requested a PDF version, I have my material collected in a PDF file online here.

It's on my "BikeCliff" webpage, which isn't really a webpage yet. It's just holding this one file at the moment and it will stay there as long as I pay my ISP bill. :-D

Thank you for your indulgence,

BassCliff

... and it takes just that long for me to shamelessly steal your pdf and post it on my website, which will be around no matter what you do with your ISP.

So there!

Ironically enough, my server is acting up. It's usually stone reliable.

This PDF will be very helpful for the jillions of people who ask questions about the procedure. It's so much easier to refer to a prepared set of instructions like yours than to start from scratch every time.

Nice job and thanks for the effort.

Share the love!

Mr. robertbarr,

Thank you! I am pleased and honored that you would use this file on your site. Everyone is welcome to their own copy too. It's less than 3MB so even a dial-up connection shouldn't take too long.

Thank you for your indulgence,

And if you are interested in a little Excel spreadsheet that helps you figure your clearances and what your shims should be, click on my name, send me an e-mail (not a PM), but be sure to put something about GSR or valve adjust in the subject line.

It just keeps getting better!

Thanks Mr. Steve! A perfect companion! Perhaps Mr. bwringer would want to include the file in his tutorial also. Or Mr. robertbarr can host it too?

I love this bunch of motorcyclists! :-D

Thank you for your indulgence,

Such picturesque speech

Thanks! (I think) I did put a little gash in my leg when I ran into a sharp corner on my highway bars. But my boo-boo is all better now, healing nicely. :-D

Here's the original thread. The information in the PDF file is pretty much the same. I did not go into a lot of detail about how to calculate shim size replacements or how to use a micrometer or feeler gauges. If you have any questions, just let us know. Do you have a manual for your GS850? If not, PM me.

Thank you for your indulgence,

I saw the original thread, very well done. Your camera takes a lot better pics than mine. This is something that needs to be added to the garage section along with the stator papers and CV carb rebuild series.

Thank you for your indulgence,
