Excellent, all within spec. of, Inlet 0.13 to 0.23mm & Exhaust 0.30 to 0.40mm.

My 2010 RT covered over 36,000 miles & only ever had the Valve Clearances checked, non required adjusting.

On enquiring with a local Dealer, the Parts Dept. told me they had never ordered any replacement shims for a TC RT.

Checked the clearances on my 2012 RT for the first time at 6,680 miles, all were with the specs.

great to see that adjustment doesn't need to be changed much at all on the 2010+ models.  anyone else have more info on their bikes that they would like to add?  I've only had mine a couple weeks so there isn't a lot for me to contribute till i get done going through the previous owners records.
