Saul Posted Monday at 21:21 Author Share Posted Monday at 21:21 Just heard back from the guy who is doing my valve check. All well within spec and reckons they have probably been checked before so that is good news. Something less to worry about 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul Posted 8 hours ago Author Share Posted 8 hours ago Picked up my CBF from the valve check last night. Talking to the chap in detail and he reckoned all but one of the valves were spot on in spec. I asked if he thought they had been checked recently and he wasn’t sure if the valve cover had ever been off . I said is that unusual and he said it’s Japanese and that he thought this era lower tuned Honda 600 fours were just that well built. Also that if looked after they will run to 100k or more. Don’t know if I will put another 64k on the bike but reassuring to hear. Looks like I was paranoid about the valve clearances after all but at least I know now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My bike went to 120000km without the valves changing. It's quite common nowadays. They were cleaned and had the seats replaced before needing adjustment 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
