    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

1982 Suzuki GS300L Valve Clearance

As you know, The 1982 Suzuki GS 300 L has rocker arms instead of shims.

Ive been told to measure valve clearance on a shim system in between the cam lobe and shim.

What about the rocker arm system? Is it still between the cam lobe and the pressure plate on the rocker arm to measure valve clearance? Or is it on the two outer points that actually touch the valve ?

thank you for you patience with what could be considered a common sense, I’m an amateur bike mechanic.
 
Not my image, just the best one I've ever seen to show you exactly where you put the feeler gauge between the top of the valve stem and the bottom of the adjustment screw.
