Torqueing the valves 2 Months, 1 Week ago
|
|
Guy I met this weekend had a 1600 also and said I'm gonna need the valves re-torqued at 17,000 miles. Is that a given for the 99 to 03's or is is dependent on level of riding? Don't think he'd yank my chain as he's a chaplain with the local CMA.

My advice has always been to adjust the valves when they 'tell' you to. If you are listening to your motor you will know when.
But if you're nervous, then certainly break it open and check them out.
I have a 1600.

That's a pretty crappy pic .... not 'cause you're in it  .... 'cause it's fuzzy.
If you want, send me a good clear pic and I'll resize it for you ... unless the original looks like that.
