Valve clearance check
« on: September 30, 2018, 04:47:36 PM »
Hi all, I just checked my valve clearances, inlets were 0.05mm but all exhausts were in excess of 0.10mm, Haynes says 0.05mm for inlets,  0.08mm for exhausts, please could someone confirm the Haynes figures are correct, it’s a K6 750 engine, cheers Mark.

Honda manual says the same as you've got.

So all good from that perspective.
