I'm a newby at some of the engine adjustments but can anyone explain in detail how to adjust the valves on a stock '80 xs to the right tolerances?
I used that, ended up with my valves wide open. There is a youtube video that in conjuction with the manual is more useful
So, if the tappets wiggle a little bit, enough to notice, that means they wiggle MORE that .006 or .004.
Where do you adjust them to, the widest the gap gets, or where they rest?
Environmental studies may be today's english equivilent indeed, my friends and I joke about it all the time. To boot, my undergrad is "Outdoor Recreation" and my masters is actually environmental studies! I get a lot of flak from my dad who is a millwright. Regardless, I got it all done today and I didn't screw anything up! As I said before, i just wasn't putting a fine enough touch on things with the adjustable: Thank god the bike came with a complete yamaha tool kit.
