2009 Buddy 125
Sticker under the seat sez, non-adjustable.
OM sez, adjust when necessary, to 0.08mm which seems to be a misprint, that's a SMALL gap.
Which is it? I can't imagine that there are hydraulic valves at this price point.

My 2007 valve adjustment was the easiest valve adjust on any bike - ever. And mine required 0.08mm gap.
Keep us posted with your progress/success!

OK. so they ARE adjustable, sounds like they are the VW Beetle or old Toyota Pick up or first gen Concours-style, screw and lock nut... Easy as pie.
I don't understand why the factory sticker says non-adjustable

That's what I thoght the first time I pulled the Buddy's valve cover. I had a flash back to checking the valves on my VW Thing.
