    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.

Just watched a guy do valve adjustment on 91 gsxr and he measured right off of the cam lobe,I always measure right on top of valve between valve and adjustable bolt with the lock nut on rocker style,he had the rockers just like my gs,am I measuring in wrong place???
 
Link?

Actually, it won't matter. If you measure between the cam and the rocker, you have no way of knowing what each valve is doing.

You should be measuring between the rocker and the valves, preferably with two feelers at the same time, to keep the rocker from tilting sideways.

I have seen this suggested a couple times here, but the manual makes no mention of it. I wonder how much deflection is really possible, to skew results.:-k
If anyone has a dial indicator & is due for a valve check/adjustment, I'd appreciate if they could actually measure how much compression occurs in the adjoining tappet, when the feeler is inserted. I have the equipment but am not due, for a quite a while.
