Subject: Valve clearances


Hi there
I decided to carry out the valve clearance adjustment on my '96 RD07.
What a hellish job! I did everything according to the factory manual and
to my great surprise they are all absolutely spot on. The bike has done
nearly 17000 miles. Have I just been lucky? I am confident that I did it
correctly with the right kit.

The carb sync and mixture setting were really easy. I bought a special
tool from MPS which has a flexible shaft and it turns the pilot screws
etc at right angles. I would recommend that anyone interested in doing
this job get their hands on one, because it's just too tricky without.
