    I finally got around to checking my valves, I feel like a neglectful parent.
    My bike has 1600km on it and 59 hrs.
    I was wondering if I am doing this correctly, I put the feeler gauge under the lobe on the cam after putting the bike at tdc.
    On the intake side the biggest feeler I could fit under there was .004 and on the exhaust it was .007. Which to me puts them right in spec, I thought for sure I would have to adjust them!

    You don't say what bike you have.....

    On the DOHC bikes, the feeler gauge goes between the cam follower and the shim, not between the cam lobe and the follower. If your intakes are at .004, you should be adjusting them up to .006, as you're now going to go out of spec with any more wear.

    In addition there should be a place in your User CP to specify what bike you have, if you want.

    Slowpoke gave you the correct answer though. :thumbsup:
