I CHECK THE VALVES ON MY 79 SF TODAY. KIND OF WORRIED BECAUSE THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN CHECKED. HAPPY TO SAY THAT THEY ARE WERE IN GOOD ORDER. THE WIDES INTAKE WAS .007 THE WIDES EXHAUST WAS .009. THESE BIKES ARE THE BEST.
It's not the "wide" valve you need to worry about!! Don't let any get too "close" as you can burn valves. As long as they are within factory specs, no problems. My first Eleven went 36K miles, and only two valves needed adjustment!
