Valve clearances on bucket and shim valves.

This video demonstrates why I paid someone to do mine.   The Video is of a Yamaha which is Bucket and Shim, my Honda is Shim and Bucket which I think is one step worse.

It's a very time consuming job , and if you don't have to correct kit with shims ...different sizes...not something for the average Joe...had the KTM done many years ago...paid the shop to do it also...

I did my own on my KTM's , time consuming yes but rewarding nonetheless.
