I know this has been posted before, but why not again. Recently my bike has been running less than perfect, hard to start when warm, stalling, etc.

Decided to check my valves; now I only have 400 miles on my bike, but those 400 miles are 99% dirt, single track hard stuff.

Anyway, my findings:

1 Intake at .12mm okay but getting tight
1 Intake at .07mm way way too tight
2 Exhaust at .12 both way too tight

I am getting a shim kit today from a friend and will set them all on the loose end, but this is way too tight for a bike with such low miles. Check your valve, it seems Kawi sets them tight.

Also, all the shims used were over 3.00, which is rather large, so I would guess Kawi knew these would tighten up and the shims are not marked well, hard to make out the shim size, so you need to mic them to measure the size they are.
