1996 ST1100, 44,000 miles. As far as I know valves have never been adjusted, I've owned the bike since 16,000 miles. I decided to check them this weekend. My feeler gauges are in inches with the metric equivalent on them as well. However, since they are inches the metric is not exactly even (e.g. .006" = .152 mm). All of my valves are within spec but some are on the loose side, I would have expected tight but loose is good. Is it worth it bringing them back to the middle at this point? I do have 2 exhaust valves that are on the tight side of being within spec.
