I just got my new feeler gauge so will be rechecking mine as well.

I re adjusted the valved today to the correct spec only took 2hrs today now that I know what to expect. Good news! Valves much more quiet and no more stalling. Glad I am doing this learning more about my bike. Thanks for the tips.

Yes, it always feels good to fix something yourself. As far as mistakes go, that's the price of tuition when you are learning to do something on your own. Even NASA has made the mistake of mixing up metric and imperial measurement units, so don't feel too bad about it.

That was because I took my time taking the plastics on and off.

Yes sir.....

Rechecked the valves today at 8,000 miles. Intakes good and one exhaust valve very slight adjustment. I probably could have let it be. Now put back together and put some more miles on.
