Valve spec 2014 RT


Skywagon

Recommended Posts

Update. Yesterday I had a valve check done at just shy of 30,000 miles. Thanks to alegerlotz for pointing me to the specs while away from home and my books

 

Here is what we found

Spec intake .10-.17

Actual .16 on both

 

Spec Exhaust .34-.41

Actual .38 and .37


So after not needing adjustments @ 12k, 24k, or 30k.. I suspect I can leave them alone now for a good while. Thoughts?

I will probably still inspect mine at the 12K service interval. But after actually needing to adjust them a while back I suspect I will never again need to actually adjust them. Maybe ever. I had one exhaust valve tight from the first time I checked and it was ever so slightly under the minimum clearance at 40 some K miles iirc. I set all valves to mid spec while in there....

The reason I don't mind checking....is that I want to put an eyeball on the cam lobes each time!

Although I always inspected them at the recommended interval, the valves on my 2014 R1200GS never needed adjustment in 132k miles of ownership.
