Paso valve adjustment

Post by Vince »

Are there any resources (other than the factory manual) that instruct how to set Paso 750 valves?
Thanks, Vince :banghead:

One note: As stated in those articles, there are many ways to measure/adjust valves and i take allways belts away from my bike, as then its easy to rotate camshaft from upper pulley to find just right "area" to get feeler gauge in. I dont want to make any "war" about thiskind things and everybody can measure and adjust they valves how they want .... Then same time its easy to check belts condition much easier as they are out. I turn engine from left side by taking that small cover away(2 screws) and by putting simple "M8 screw tool" (M8 screw with one nut for locking this screw) to end of cranksaft and normal 13mm wrench to that "M8 screw tool" to turn engine to get marks to they right positions. Many ways to do valve job... :thumbup: :beer:
