So I opened up my 02 for a valve clearance check tonight. I was wondering is there anything I should look at while the thing is apart? I'm changing the plugs but that's all I can come up with right now.
I got the valve covers off and the valve train exposed for a check I'm just waiting until the morning when the thing is cold to check the tolerances. I had to ride it today to work so it' wasn't not stone cold tonight.
I have the factory manual so the process is not an issue, just looking for some advice for things to go over while the bike is broken down to this point. It's an 02N with around 16,500 on the clock. The bike has been ridden semi-hard for the last 5,000mi, pulling double duty as a daily commuter and weekend warrior. I'm not sure of the previous owner's habits but they were both women so I'm guessing it was ridden easy and maintained decently.
I just want to look out for my investment, I plan on keeping this bike for a while and want it to remain a rock solid dependable daily rider. Thanks in advance.
