Re: Valve measurement records
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.

Re: Valve measurement records
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.
