Raptor Valve Adjustment
#6
Valve clearance (cold):
Intake:
0.10mm - 0.15mm
(0.0039" - 0.0059")
Exhaust:
0.15mm - 0.20mm
(0.059" - 0.0079")
I set mine to 0.005" intake and 0.007"exhaust. Runs great. All you really need is a feeler gauge, a 10mm wrench and a small metric wrench (approx. 2.5mm). I took a 3/32" and filed it slightly bigger to fit. Worked fine. Sears sells a set of feeler gauges that are angled. They help make it a little easier to get the feeler under the rocker arm.

What you have to take off and what you want to take off are two different things. I suppose it could be argued that one could do a valve adjustment without taking off anything but the valve covers. I chose to take off the front fender/cowl assembly, the gas tank, and the rubber protection cover that sits under the gas tank. With all of this removed I had clear access to the valve covers. I then removed the valve covers and adjusted the valves.
