I have a few valve questions here.
1. What is the "norm" direction for a valve to go out of adjustment. The exhaust valve spec per the manual is .011 +/- .001
If I get a reading of .014 this would be considered loose, right? Is this a normal wear indication for an exhaust valve? Or do they normally wear the other direction? Is it the same for intake valves?
2. I have read that hard starting bikes is an indication of the out of spec valves, does this mean exhaust or intake or either?
3. What causes one to go out of adjustment over the other?
My rocker arm came in at .020 before adding it to the .012 of my right exhaust reading, which seems to be WAY outr of adjustment also.
My left exhaust valve came in at .014.
(both intakes were spot on)
Is this normal? I dont see anyone mentioning they have probelms with their exhaust valves?
