Question about Raptor valve adjustment..
I checked my valves a few weeks ago, and the intakes were fairly tight.... so I adjusted
them to the high side of the tolerance and the bike ran great. My question is ... when I
was sizing the gap between the rocker arm and the valve, I noticed the gap was not a parallel
mating surface. When I had the feeler gauge in there, it was contacting on one point only, not
the whole surface. Is this typical ? Sorta like this :
Rocker --> | | <-- Valve would be parallel. Mine was Rocker --> / | <-- Valve
One side of either the valve or rocker, was beveled, and the gauge only contacted at the tip of one of the
flats. All 3 intakes were like this. I searched , but never found that info anywhere on these boards, so
I figured I would ask. Thanks for any reply. Everything runs great, just wasnt sure if this was a sign of wear
or normal.
