That’s a lot of valve jobs, thank you

I need to do this on my 750. It's been a couple years since I've checked the valves...and I feel like I've gotten more skilled with the feeler gauges since then. Those .002's are tricky to set. It's a such a thin feeler gauge. i have an older Triumph that's .008 and .010, which are way easier to set correctly. Looks like that manual has a typo. It says .02 inches for inlet and .003 inches for exhaust. Should be .002 and .003.

This procedure is part of a four-step process of adjusting the cam chain tensioner, valves, checking the timing, and finally, synchronizing carbs. The old service manual has several errors. You're correct, .02 in should be .002 in. I think I said two-thousandths in the video. I always try to work with millimeters when working on any bike that was designed and built using millimeters; helps avoid conversion mistakes.
