I hit a maximum amount of Photos per post. This is a continuation of the previous post.
After adjusting mine they were a bit noisier but thats a good thing. When you don't hear them thats when they need to be checked. At least my new scoot does not need valves checked for a long time. Looks like a big job.
The flat rate on the 32K mile service is 7.5 hrs, which includes 2.5 hrs to set the valves. Those are the valve covers on the sides, ( they are actually 2 pc, the lower covers the plugs, top the valve train) these engines use buckets, so if the valves need adjusting, you have to pull the cams and put in new buckets (shims) , then recheck . I have done 4 or 5 this year so far, think the F6 will be easier, because I don't expect the riders of these bikes to add so much crap to their bikes. (lights, etc to the front end), but I might be wrong.I wonder what the labor charge is for setting the valves in you new bike there HB?
But are those the rocker boxes on the side of the engine sticking out of the body work?
It might be fairly easy then
