valve clearances
« on: April 20, 2013, 17:33:28 »
The valve clearances on my 2004 wee are due at the next service. As I do all my servicing myself can someone give me an idea of how long this job typically takes? Any special tools needed or issues/problems to look out for?
cheers

I'd set aside a full day for the job but I'm slow and careful. Besides the Suzuki service manual, these links may help.

Pat- 2007 DL650A was ridden to all 48 contiguous states. 2012 DL650A outlasted me.
