How to adjust the valves on a 82 Katana

[bbutler455]

While I have the engine out of my GS1000SV (6500 on odometer) - should I adjust the valves? I've never attempted this chore. Is there a "how-to" artilce I can reference?

I thought I saw an article about slipping a cable tie between the valve and the seat so you didn't need the shim tool. Now I can't find it.

Any suggestions?

You dont have shims on that motor. It has rockers with an adjustment screw.

Get a shop manual.

When in doubt check Mr. BikeCliff's site.He usually has something in the way of a tutorial. This one is good.
