Last summer I upgraded from the ZZR1200 to the ZX14R - a 2013 used but with only 7500 miles on her. I'm at 16k now and the winter months are a good time to take things down for the valve inspection in my household. BTW, I love the upgrade in all aspects and have no regrets.....
Here's the 1st issue - #4 outer intake valve top has a bunch of build-up on top of the valve. Has anyone else seen this?
And I just finished checking all the clearance's - 7 out of the 8 exhaust side need adjusted and 6 out of the 8 on the intake side. The adjustment is only 0.001" on the intake, but up to 0.003" on the exhaust side. What level of a problem do I have? And everyone I have talked to says the ZX doesn't tend to have cam wear issues.
Everything was running 'fine' when I took her down - no noticeable issues at all.
