I took my tank fairing off yesterday, before firing the bike up, I intended to only check the exhaust valve clearance, because I didn't want to strip all the plastic, tank, seat, and rack off the bike yet. I took the little cover off, and was surprised at how difficult it seems to get a feeler gauge in there. I took the 0.10 mm blade off my set, and tried to bend the end to get enough angle on it to go in the opening, and between the valve stem, and set screw. It was just thick enough that it cracked , and I couldn't chance loosing it in the hole, so I didn't adjust the exhaust valve. I did verify that I have some play, so I just put everything back together. I plan on sending the ECU to Lifan after the upcoming warmer weather that we are supposed to get next week, and I want to do a though valve adjustment then.
I used a regular feeler gauge set and bent the ends on a slight angle.
