On the three occasions that I have checked clearances.
You have checked your valves three times? How many miles on your bike? This is the first time I have checked the valves on this bike, and it has 17,000 miles, and I do not look forward to ever having to do it again. After working on the CB1100 I will never say again that inspecting the valves on my VFR800 is difficult. I would rather inspect AND adjust the valves on the VFR than to just inspect the valves on the CB1100. The VFR cams are gear-driven, and are easily removed. I dread the day I will have to actually adjust the valves on this bike where the cam sprocket and chain have to be removed first, before removing the cams.
