Many private mechanics like myself shy away from doing valve clearances because it’s a fiddly job and can seem complicated.
With the help of the official KTM service manual I learned how to knock out this job with little fuss. The important things are to set aside free time, have a clean and organised work space, and write down the required values.
Get official KTM, Husqvarna or Gas Gas service manuals from print.ktm.com and you’ll be able to disassemble and reassemble your entire bike like a pro!
