I have a 06 honda foreman es 4x4 with about 16-17 hrs. on it
I have been told buy the honda dealer that I should have the valve clearance adjusted.
I did notice today riding it that there was a slight ticking in the engine.
is it hard to adjust the valves I would like to do as much work on my own bike as I can.

Thanks for your input

adjusting the valves isnt hard to do, but without the proper knowledge, you could potentially do some damage. If you are mechanically inclined, buy a service manual for your machine. It will walk you through step by step how to adjust the valve clearances. You could also do a search for valve adjustments, several threads have the procedure posted in them, as long as you know what spec's yours is supposed to be at.

 

Thanks Man
I am vary mechanically inclined, but just don't want to screw anything up.
This is My first bike and love it
