Motorcycle Repair: Honda 50 Valve settings intake/exhaust, honda 50, xv1100

Question
Hi Chris. I would just like to ask what to set the intake and exhaust valve lash adjustments at. Thanks for any help. Rick

Answer
Hi Rick.
 That question is really one that you should be able to find in the repair manual.  Fact of the matter is, if you are doing any maintainence on that bike, then you need the repair manual to have available the specs and schedules for those repairs, as well as any other major problems with the bike that you may run into.

The reason is simply this;  All bikes have different settings for the valves, from one model to the other, and there are too many different makes and models out there for any one person to keep the specs on in any one place.  I only keep tech specs on my own bikes, so if you were asking about a Yamaha XJ900RK or a Honda XV1100, then I could tell you those.  But I do not have a library of every bike out there, so you need to get the repair manual and that will have those specs along with a thousand other things that you may not have known about your bike.

Good luck.
