Finally, now that my shoulder has healed from rotator cuff surgery, I've got through the 600-mile break in (well, 599.6 anyway).
Rotella "dino" 15w-40 oil, with .75 oz. of Redline, new KN oil filter...check. Cables lubed, tires & drive belt inspection...check.
After letting bike cool off overnight, read through Versy's valve adjustment instructions twice, gathered up tools and proceded to inspect valve clearances. Hmmm...exhaust's seemed right in the middle of the .08-.13 mm range, but intake's seemed a bit tight. Double-checked to make sure I was on compression TDC, NOT exhaust TDC....same result. (Kudos to Versy, btw, for a very good write-up on this procedure.)
HOWEVER, with my "automotive-sized" metric feeler gauges, there's just very little room to get an accurate "feel." The bike is running well, so I buttoned everything back up.
Ordered the 6-piece Motion Pro feeler gauge set and BikeMaster adjustment wrenches. Will do a write-up on these tools once I get the valve adjustment "just-so."
