Valve Ajustment on 1150

[skylarmav1]

This past weekend I adjusted the valves on my Blue Beakster for the first time. While it took some finessing to get all four (on each side) where they needed to be, it went really well.

Thanks to all here who contribute tech info for your constant flow of valuble, confidence inspiring info.

Taking the valve covers off was a bit intimidating knowing what was next, but following all the guidance here made the project doable.

The bike now runs better and my confidence to tackle other bike repairs has greatly increased.

Next weekend, throttle bodies!
Thx!

just did mine for the first time about a week ago. made my own manometer out of tubing and a yardstick.

took way too long, but i think next time both the sync and valve adj will be done in an hour or less

way to go. it's daunting when you begin and liberating when you complete successfully

Agreed. Thx!
