checking valves on goldwing.....
« on: June 23, 2010, 11:47:22 AM »
what is the easiest and best way to check the valve clearences?? im not getting fuel into the 3 cylinder after cleaning the carbs, so im guessing its not the carb, possibly the valve is sticking and not seating correctly.

What year / model?

For the 1000/1100's, pull the valve cover and check for clearance.  Straightforward screw/lock nut adjustments. 

Not sure for the 1200/1500/1800's.

No.. you check valve clearances when they are closed.

Here is a good how to with pictures.
