Has anyone adjusted their valves yet?
If so, did you remove all the front plastic and rack like service manual says to?
I'm due for the 100 hr service and want to do it
myself. I've done my foreman 400 service, but looking at the manual makes it look much more difficult. Any advice welcome.

Find top dead center on compression stroke.Set intake valves to .006in. set exhaust valves to .009in. Make sure engine is cold (below 95 F).
Anything else you need?
