1150 GS Valve Adjustment
Okay, so is it so simple it's not worth posting? Anyway, got this new to me GS and was wondering how to adjust the valves and sync the throttle bodies. Any help or links to instructions? Also was wondering how to bleed the brakes on the ABS model or any other maintenance I can do myself. I should probably just buy the shop manual.

Oilhead valve adjustment is easy, no harder than doing it on an airhead 2V model.
For lots of advice, check out the Hall Of Wisdom on the Adventure Riders site: http://www.advrider.com/Wisdom/Wisdom.html

Thanks, changed out the rear, transmission, and engine oil with synthetics. I'll do the valve adjustment today. I'll have to wait until I get the twinmax to do my sync. Thanks for the link. FYI if you use a K&N-163 it has a 17mm nut on the end that you can use to get it out. Makes oil changes easier. I didn't have the wrench I needed to get the old one out.
