Valve clearance

The valves are an important engine
component, and since valve clearance
changes with use, they must be
checked and adjusted at the intervals

To prevent this from occurring, have
your Yamaha dealer check and adjust
the valve clearance at regular intervals.
TIP
This service must be performed when
the engine is cold.
