Motorcycle Repair: valves, honda elite, feeler gauge


Question
What are the valve adjustments on a 1986 honda elite 205

Answer
Set the timing mark in the threaded hole to TDC.There should be a line cut in the threads to use as a mark.Using a feeler gauge the lash should be about .003 on both intake and exhaust.Honda runs a close tolerance on the older bikes. I'm doing this from memory if my books show a little bit looser I let you know.
