Subject: Valve Adjustment
Hallo ,

0.15 and 0.20 plus minus 0.02 is the recommended value !
By the way, for adjusting the valves in the front cylinder you normally
need to remove the right water cooler (and crashbows if you have).
To avoid this work just check the clearance first. And if there is no
adjustment necessary, then you saved some time ;-)
I did it now the 3rd time with no need to adjust them !!!!
Since 25.000 km no change neccessary (Front and rear !)
Some more statistics:
After 50.000 km I need to install new bearings (Lenkkopflager) for stearing.
When I changed the fork oil I detected, that it was not filled anymore
with the recommended amount (ca. 620 ml per fork) of oil.
Must be disappeared in a way ?
But anyway the driving except of the bearing probs (Lenkkopflager) was ok.
The switch for the neutral gear was out of order (since a few month ;-))
And two bulbs for the tacho and tripmaster were broken.
Now I am ready for the next 50.000 !
Last thing:
I am not sure if this was already said in this list:
I asked my dealer (Germany) if it is now allowed to drive with two
burning head lights.
The answer is : NO, only the new models are allowed !
The older one, which originally were delivered with only one
headlight burning will loose their ABE (german law, the right to use/drive
your vehicle)) when you change them !
So Gentleman, with older AT's the only chance you have is
Use your HIGH BEAM !!!!!
