.032 inches)

VALVE INSPECTION
Refer to maintenance schedule in this owner’s manual for valve adjustment inspection intervals .
Valve clearance should be:
Intake: 0.02-0.03mm
Exhaust: 0.03-0.05mm
The engine will make excess noise if the gap is too large in air valve. If gap is too small valve operation will
be hindered which could result in valve malfunction and failure. Therefore, air valve gap must be checked
periodically.
If you have the proper tools and are mechanically proficient, instructions on adjusting the valve clearance
are given in the service manual. If assistance is needed please contact dealer to find your local service
center.
