Valve Adjustment

Well I was reading through some forums and I found out I'm overdue for a valve clearance inspection/adjustment. I've red-lined my bike a dozen or so times and ride fairly aggressive at times, so I don't want to push the maintenance out any further. The service manual says 12,000 miles and I'm getting pretty close.

I figured I'd do it now before it gets warm enough to ride and spare myself missing a week or two of riding.  I read some DIY's and found out I would need shims, a micrometer, and feeler gauges. I also printed out the service manual I downloaded here.

 

I printed the service manual front and back and it's still over 1.5 inches thick.  I think I will three hole punch it and place it in a binder later.
