    Ok I know I should check the valves more often but the miles came quite fast on my 08 TE-510

    Here is what I measured, however smallest feeler gauge i have is is .008.

    Ex. 1 .008, 010 does not fit
    Ex. 2 .008 does not fit so, less than .008
    Spec is .006-.008


    Int. 1 .008 does not fit i.e. less than .008
    Int. 2 .008 fits but is loose, .10 does not fit
    Spec is .004-.006

    As I am new to this, exhaust seems ok, but intake seems to be a larger gap. Should I park the bike till I get them adjusted correctly

    Appreciate comments

    You should check them more often :)

    Park it? I wouldn't, but soon adjust at least intake #2.



    Mine were significantly off from the factory, apparently you were more lucky.

    Some bikes just seem to stay close.

    I would get some new feeler gauges if the thinnest you have is .008'

    You really need to get an accurate reading.
