Thanks for posting the values, they seem very similar, how did you measure these?

2013 CB 1100 with 19,000+ miles on it at it's FIRST Valve check. Bike is never pushed to red line but has seen triple digits on numerous occasions.
Cost: Shop checked/adjusted valves, replaced rear brake pads with ones I supplied, flushed brake/clutch lines and replaced spark plugs. $510.18 ($34.71 which was tax)
Specs: Exhaust .25-.31 Intake .12-.18
#1 - exhaust .30,.30 intake .18,.18
#2 .28,.30 .18,.18

Well done.
Did the shop leave as checked, or did they adjust to bring clearance back to about middle of the range?
RE: The OBSERVED Valve Clearance thread - Frulk_imp - 03-30-2019
Funny, I didn't even ask about that. The bill states they adjusted them.
RE: The OBSERVED Valve Clearance thread - the Ferret - 03-30-2019
why two measurements for each one?
ie: #1 exhaust 30...30 intake 18...18
wouldn't it measure just EX 30 .... or INT 18?
If they didn't charge you for shims i would assume they didn't use any.

Because our bikes have 4 valves per cylinder.
