If the valve adjustment is done by screw and locknut, you're golden - it's as easy as undoing a locknut and just turning the screw enough to create a little drag on the right size feeler gauge. Then doing the locknut up again and rechecking.

But how many times have I had to do this 10 times before I'm happy with the feel of the feeler!

Thought I had replied to this.

Yes I know that feeling and checking every one again so the feel the same. Found the tappet tool to hold the bolt makes things so much easier.

Oh and if someone wants you to do a VFR Vtec valve clearance with out the special tools. Forget it, and that is why many don't get checked. Also have to strip down half the bike.
