Valve clearance inspection
1. Check the valve clearance with feeler gauges in-
serted between the rocker arm and yoke cap.
Valve Clearance:
Inlet valve .................................. 0.4 mm [ 0.016 in.]
Exhaust valve ............................ 0.5 mm [ 0.020 in.]
2. The clearance is correct if feeler gauge is slightly
gripped between the rocker arm and the yoke
cap. If the feeler does not fit into the clearance
exactly, perform adjustments as described below.
IMPORTANT! When performing the "First Ser-
vice", valves that are checked and deemed not
in need of adjustment must be checked again
within 250 hours.
NOTE! Standing next to the engine, facing the cylin-
der head, the inlet valve is to the left and the exhaust
valve is to the right
Adjust valve clearance
1. Loosen the lock nut of the adjusting screw.
2. Turn in or back off the adjusting screw so that
feeler gauge is slightly gripped between the rock-
er arm and yoke cap.
3. After adjusting the clearance, tighten the lock nut
of the adjusting screw.
