Motorcycle Repair: 1997 Kawasaki Lakota 300, honda v65 magna, kawasaki lakota

Question
Christopher,
I am writing to ask if you know the "gap" settings for the above mentioned machines intake valve and exhust valve? My son recently bought this and the seller stated that it just relpaced the valves, shaved the head .030. The seller said that the valve clearance needed to be reset? They are currently set at .012 intake and .015 exhust. Idon't yet have my repair manual for this, but it is on it's way. The kids just want's to ride the thing, but I don't want him to hurt the piston on valves themselves.  Anything you can give would be a help.
Thanks
Tom

Answer
Hi Tom.
 I do not keep specs on any bikes but the ones that I own.  Now if you had asked me for the ones on a Honda V65 Magna or a Yamaha XJ900RK, I could have helped you out.  In order for me to keep that much info on every bike that is reasonably on the road, I would need a library the size of a small office building :).
 Trust me, that is a lot of books, because each different make/model bike out there is set differently on many of the detail specs like the ones that you are asking about.  In a case like this, with the manual on the way, I would just give a call to the local dealership and ask the mechanic there.  he has the manual and many mechanics are quite willing to drop you a little info of that nature.  They have the manuals there all the time.

Sorry that I don't have the specs for you.
Good luck.
