valve adj

Post by Mike1nw »

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.
