Adjusted the Valves on my Adventure yesterday

[DaveDragon]

It was raining sideways all day so after getting my morning chores out of the way I jumped in the R1200GS-A Valve-train with both feet.

This is a link to my Blog (http://davedragon.blogspot.com/2007/01/r1200gs-adventure-valve-adjustment.html) on job.

This is a link to all of the photos (http://www.davedragon.org/Photos/BMW/R1200GS-A_VA/pics.asp). I'm adding text to each photo shortly.

Not a tough job at all, but the OVAD Document on AdvRider is only somewhat useful when doing the job on the R1200.

Also added two home-run accessory outlets (http://davedragon.blogspot.com/2007/01/added-two-new-accessory-sockets-to-gs.html).

Excellent! :D

Where does one purchase those plastic handled feeler gauges?

TIA

Good write up Dave, did you happen to check the throttle body sync? I understand that the idle sync is set by the "Moronic" but you still need to check the higher rpms.

Dave,

Just did the Valves the trick for finding TDC on the left side helped.

Thanks
