15,000 mile valve clearance check. Were any of your valves out of clearnance?
I just did the valve clearance inspection @ 15,200 miles. Keep in mind my miles were basically spot on, not like other people that do not have a speedo healer. Stock the 07-08 zx6r's are off exactly 10%. So at 15,000 miles there is actually 13,500 actual miles on the engine w/out a speedohealer of some sort. Anyway, I did my inspection with my trusty pdf. service manual, and my snap-on feeler guage. Every single valve was in way within serivce limits. How many of your guys that did your inspections actually need to reshim? I'm confident that the 30,000 mile interval, I will have a few valves out of spec. Is this common for the 600cc bikes to not need a valve adjustment on even 1 valve? I'm just curious, that's all. When I helped my buddy do the valve check on his 08 cbr600rr at the 16,000 mile service interval, he had only one valve out of the service limit. I use my bike for commuting, to riding twisties hard and sometimes keeping the revs above 10,000 rpm's for a majority of an hour. So I use my bike moderately hard, but I don't beat the shit out of it.
Just shoot me your input and opinions.
