EVILGTP98 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Just wondering if anybody has any knowledge on the valve adjustment for an 05 ZX 10. A good friend of mine and I are going to change the oil in his this week and he was asking bout the valve adjustment. Is it a dealership scam to get some bank when the 1st change your oil or is it something that is necessary and required? Any info would be killer and thanks in advance..

The Man of Steele Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 Smells like bull shit to me, never adjusted any valves on my 05 at the dealership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt906 Posted July 17, 2006 Report Share Posted July 17, 2006 you shouldnt have to adjust the valves for like 10kish mi. on that bike, check the owners manual... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVILGTP98 Posted July 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2006 thats cool, i will look into it, I thought it was kinda fishy. But they told me to bring my R1 back to the dealership for the oil change and valve adjustment and ring me for 180 bucks, i just laughed. I got a warrenty and reved it to 12 grand, lol. thanks for the info, I will look into it a little more in the manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemosley01 Posted July 19, 2006 Report Share Posted July 19, 2006 That's pretty much standard - all manufacturers recommend having clearance checked after break in. They've been doing that since before I got my first bike in 94. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
