valve adjustment quick question.

Originally: Hi there, I just checked my valve clearance at 58,000km. Last time I did it was at 21,000km (I know I am really lazy for this job). Anyhow, they where still within specs, however the exhaust valves got tighter as expected but the intake valves got looser. This is not really a problem, but I wondered if anybody had similar experiences with theirs ? *** It s been my experience that Kawasaki valves do like to tighten up a bit. A little loose on the intake side is okay. Just keep in mind the goofy old saying, A tappy valve is a happy valve. It s the quiet ones ya gotta worry about. =) A bit loose intake may cost you a tiny amount of power, but at least they aren t being held open and burning. eddie
