The Haynes manual describes and shows a couple of extremely close cropped pictures, one (image 8.3a) of what appears to be an F800GS with the clutch cover still on it, and the other (image 8.3c) an S or ST. 2013 F800GT, 44xxx miles. Does the radiator have to be drained & removed to check valve clearance? I'm attempting to do a valve check but I can't move the radiator out of the way.

Hi Firstly, I know this is an odd question and the usual answer is of course 'absolutely, are you nuts?!', but whats the view on valve clearance checking and how many of you had yours done and found there was an issue. What prompts me to ask is mines got about 65km on it now (speedo swapped.

Most cars have hydraulically self adjusting valves. Those that aren't require adjustment eventually. Why? As the valve slams closed thousands of times per second, the mating surface wears.

Very slowing on the intake valve which gets cool fuel and air, but more rapidly on the exhaust valve, which has flaming fuel passing through it when it opens.
