I've got my V Star 1100 torn apart so I can check the valves and adjust if necessary. I've done this before on other bikes, such as a 2002 Kawasaki Concours, without any issues. But I'll be damned if I'm not able to check the V Star and feel confident. Every valve I check is tight, meaning I can't even get a .002 inch feeler gauge between the adjusting screw and valve. Everything I've read says that it's very rare for any valve to be too tight, let alone all of them. I'm following the directions but I'll be damned if I trust myself enough to adjust them.
I'm not looking for a freebie and am willing to pay for someone to come over, run through the check, and adjust them as necessary. If no one can help, I'll call either TFOG or the local shop here and trailer it to them.
Here's a link to the doc that I'm using:
