Try this site, http://www.ljsoftware.com/DS/Valves.htm

 

There is alot of work going into adjusting the valves. if you are not mechanicaly inclined i would not suggest attempting that. It will cost you about 175 for a valve adjustment.

 

If your mechanically inclined the valve adjustment is easy.

Besides, do it yourself so you know it is done right.

Just got off the phone with a buddy that is re-doing his dealer's valve adjustment job!

Also check out faq.f650.com it is the same engine.

Check out the picture of the TDC mark on the crank in my picture page. Helps to look at this.
