    1982 GS1100G valve clearance specs needed

    The title says it all. I've searched about everywhere imaginable and have yet to find the answer to my question. That's why I started this thread.
    Thanks in advance for each and every response.
    Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.


    Present Stable includes:
    '74 GT750 Resto-mod I've owned since '79
    '83 GS1100E (The best E I've ever enjoyed, Joe Nardy's former bike)
    '82 GS1100G Resto project

    You can download the factory manual here. Inside are the instructions on how to position the cams and the clearance specs. Stock is .03-.08mm. You can safely run clearance to .12mm, and I suggest targeting the higher end of the range because the valve clearance decreases with mileage.

      Thanks! I had a feeling that you'd be the one to response. In fact, I came close to PMing you 1st. Thanks for not letting me down.
      Btw, is the clearance the same for both intake and exhaust? I thought they were different.
      Also, fwiw, I checked the bringer.com site before starting this thread but it wouldn't open. However, it did now so I'm good to go.

        Yes, Intake and exhaust clearance specs are the same.

        THe proceedure for turning cams to certain position and checking certain valves, turn cams, check certain valves is important so that the two cams that check are not being pushed around by valve springs.
