Re: valve adjustment

Yes.It easier it you ignore the "t" & just rotate the engine till the valves that you are adjusting are completely closed. (nose of cam pointing up).Then do the same for the other pair of valves.

Re: valve adjustment

Check that "T" mark, but make sure as the others mention above, make sure you are on the correct part of the stroke. Also, an easy way is you can see your valves in the front move to that "up" position, this way you know if they are up the valve is closed. By the way, you can also stick a straw or something long enough in your spark plug hole and see where the piston is......Be careful you don't drop or break anything off into it....I was turning it when I had my paintbrush stick end in it (bad idea), and when the piston came up I heard it begin to crack, almost got it caught in there....I pulled it out and used something else real quick...lol

Oh and on the "T," mine has a big "T" and then right next to it, there is a line going straight across the chamber. The manual says line up the "T," but it's an older manual and a smaller "t" and no line after it. If you have a newer bike, like mine, it is really the LINE you want to line it up with.....I also spoke to the mechanics at Suzuki, and the guy told me he doesn't even rely on that line...Makes you wonder how accurate it is....But then again, mine is right....Also, after you adjust your valves, make sure you rotate, 720 degrees and check the measurements again........if you do 360, you will be on the wrong part of the stroke....

Hope this helps....
