CBR1000F - Valve Clearance Adjustment - Great information

Have a 1991 CBR1000F with 58,000 km.
Did my valve clearances (personally for the first time) today and followed
both the w/shop manual and this following web site.
Web site was fantastic confidence booster because of the photos and insight.

Took me 5 hours - tedious and backbreaking - but all is now in spec.
FYI - after 24,000km since last checked (should be 12,000km ) - only 2 of 16
valves were out of spec.
One Inlet should be 0.10 (+/- 0.02mm) but was 0.06mm.
One Exhaust should be 0.18 (+/- 0.02mm) but was 0.21mm.

I'm happy with the result because ...
I now know and am confident the clearances are in spec (as against
relying on others).
It's a confidence booster when riding the bike that you know exactly
what is happening beneath you.

All other CBR1000F riders - have a go!

Now I'm on to learn about Carb Synchronisation............. anyone in
Melbourne with any personal experience?
