.006" or .15mm intake and exhaust both. I assume on a cold engine but the manual doesnt specify. You will need two feeler gauges for the exhaust as the exhaust only shares a common rocker.

I have the valve adjustment procedure scanned from my manual if that will help you. If you would like it, PM me your email addy and I can send it to you.

How often are you supposed to adjust valves? I have an 04 and the guy at the dealer said that they did not need adjusting. Is this true? Thanks![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

The manual says every 100 hours. I do it once a year, in the spring before my riding sean starts
