[QUOTE="SRAD97750, post: 231756, member: 425"] Checking valves is pretty easy and only requires a few tools. There are certainly a few videos on YT to walk you through it. Valves being out of adjustment can cause all sorts of weird symptoms. Hard starting, Hard starting when hot, only starts when bumped, backfire, weird idle issues.... I have had a bike start one day and not the next, valve adjustment being the issue. Unfortunately, once valves start moving or needing adjustment, it's usually the beginning of the end for that valve. It may need shimming again soon. Once out of shim adjustment, valve job is required with new valves and seats. -BIG DAN:thumb: [/QUOTE]
