spend the 50-60 buck on a factory service manual, I believe it will be worth it.

I just completed a valve adjustment on my 2001 Raptor. It is the same motor as the griz but I don't know if they require the same valve clearances. I bought a shop manual on CD from an ebay auction for eight bucks. Well worth it. It walked me through the whole thing. You really need a torque wrench, metric feeler gauge and a shop manual.

Okay here's the skinny on the 660grizz's valves, mine didn't need adjustment at 20 hours, but here's how you get to them. Remove in this order the seat, air box lid, side panels, front rack, hood, gas tank cover, fuel tank(petcock stem, wires ect.), tank heat shield. For the intake valves that's all the access you need. For the exhaust I removed the right front wheel and a wheel well panel too. Access to the exhaust valves is poor.
Notes:
1. There's no valve cover persay, just two screw on covers over the exhuast stems, and a small panel over the intakes.
2. Cold specs are as follows Intake: .0039" - .0059" (.10mm - .15mm) Exhaust: .0059"- .0079" (.15mm - .20mm) courtesy of SilverBear
