The cold and the rain are behind us now and it’s time to run some basic maintenance on CB to prepare it for summer riding. I started this morning with a simple vale adjustment.

Popped the tappet covers off.

I slid the feeler gauge between all the valves to measure the gap and they were all fine. If they were off it was by a hundredth of a millimeter. No fun.

I decided to adjust them anyway for good measure and because it was such a nice morning to be outside wrenching on the ol’ bike.

Intake valves (rear) are .05mm gaps. Exhaust valves (front) are .08mm gaps.

All done.
