Default Predator Valve adjustment!!!

I just bought my predator about a week ago. The salesman couldn't find the valve adjustment in the book anywhere. I was just wondering how often you have 2 check the valves on it????? and if its pretty easy 2 do it yourself.

Once your quad is broke in it would be a good idea to check them on your first oil change, 70% of pred. owners probably haven't done this though but the specs are as follows intake valves .006" exhaust valves .010" this is with a cold motor.

If you have not done this before or seen it done before you should get a service manual to start off and then find someone with some experianc to help you other wise take it to the dealer or local shop otherwise you are going to end up spending more $ in the long run.
