VFR - 50,359
ER-6N - 4,???

Luckily there is hardly ever anyone with a VFR that says their valves where out of specs. I checked 4k ago or so, all within specs. There's guys that have 100k and just checked theirs.

How many of those 50k are yours?

29,710. This pic was taken when I brought here home so maybe 10 miles or so need to be added. Hell maybe more than that "A" tripometer. I can't remember.

I feel sorry for tye 6th gen guys. They have to keep takening and putting back in their cam shafts to check their valves.

Unless your engine has set screws I wouldnt fuck with the valves. Ive hardly seen or heard someone say their shimmed valves were out of specs. Most that do adjust them are the OCD bikers.

I expect to have to swap shims on my cbr, it has a very slight tick. Others have told me they don't hear it, but I do.

Besides the case swap after the get off, how often do you do your valves and how often have they been out of spec?

I usually check them every 30k-ish or so, since they rarely ever move. Had a couple exhaust valves out of spec at 100k and that's been the only real adjustment. I need to check them again though... I've been lazy, lol

I have a tick but all my valves are within spec. Do you have a flapper valve on your airbox? They can make a noise flapping open/close.
