:? Hi all. I am tying to tune up a ex500 for a friend of mine coming back from Irag soon. I am very mechanicaly inclined but am always in need of a quick simple procedure summary. the lash, and the easy way to access it would be great help. Thanks for all your time. His bike was repainted with a purple heart and a medal of honor. He's gonna freak! haha.

You have to take off your gas tank. Don't forget to release cooling liquid before you start doing that(no kidding). Then take off the valve cover. For all valves the lash is 0.08". When you finish put everything back and that's it.

Thank you

I really appreciate this. I have been wondering if I had to buy the book for a few simple numbers. Your a gentleman and a scholar. Robert M Peternell
