As you can see I have a 3 valves with border line clearances on the loose side.

I'm debating the need to adjust and might just check again after the summer...

Am I being lazy or do you agree?

My only experience with adjusting valve clearances is with 1960s era Hondas. I found that valve clearances tended to tighten-up over time with the stem/nut adjustments, especially on the exhaust side.

That said, I have no idea if this is the case with modern day Hondas like our CB1100s. Can any one comment on on this?
