    XR valve clearances are somewhat easier. Didn’t take you long to catch on, Bruce from Northern NSW.

    WTF are you lot worried about

    steps
    1/ turn wheel so that valve stem is on the bottom, not to be mistaken for rim lock stem.

    2/ Unscrew valve stem protector, usually black plastic but can come in different materials (not important) however if you do not have these protectors/caps I recommend you get some as it will make step 3 easier as it assist to keep out mud and stuff.

    3/ With protection cap removed, look at the litte steel stem on top of the valve. it should have the same clearance from all sides of the valve stem, if there is a variance you have dodgy valve clearance and you need to by a DRZ.

    You are all welcome:blush: :blush: :blush: :blush: :blush:
