I don't know how this is happening either... especially wrenching from a supposed industry "mechanic".
I just pulled the top end off my wife's GZ to replace the valve seals, and setting the valve clearences a fairly straight forward procedure. Suzuki is one of the most user friendly valvetrains to set valve lash. Most other mfg's use precision shims under the cam to adjust, and this shim method is expensive and a PIA ! |
Only time I ever seen this is when the valves sink into the seats & you can't get any clearance to adjust.This is not common & was a problem on Kawasaki twin's from not adjusting the valves & they just keep getting tighter & tighter till the bike wouldn't start.
