Page 20 of the Zongshen
200GY-2 User's Manual indicates we should make the first valve clearance check at 1,000 km (621 miles). I must admit, I waited until later; however, I encourage you to check the valve clearance now, at 1,000 miles.
It took me a little time to learn the procedure for my first valve check. However, I can now easily complete the entire process in 30 minutes. The Zongshen 167FML engine is a very tough, reliable, little powerplant. In my experience, the two best things you can do to keep this engine healthy are:
1. Frequently change the engine oil.
2. Check the valve clearances according to the schedule in the
200GY-2 User's Manual.
