checking valve clearance
hi
my 01 has now done 16500 miles and I've been told I need to have the valves checked - does anyone know how big of a job this is? I've searched through the how to section but can't find anything there - very surprising! Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Riz

Here's a great in depth how-to -- http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/fo...threadid=85499
It is a pretty involved process. Not to mention you'll need at least $100 worth of tools you probably don't have. My local shop quoted me around 2.5 hours but I don't trust them.

I've heard that these bikes hold their valve clearance very well, and very rarely need to be adjusted at 16,000 miles, and probably only need to be looked at every 32,000. That being said, I, personally only have a few thousand miles on my f4i and have absolutely zero experience adjusting the valves.
