I’m posting this for anyone who might need it in the future. W800 Tappet Clearance EX 0.14-0.19mm IN 0.08-0.13mm
It came down to either checking the clearance or finding the manual. The secret to getting Google’s favor is “writing about things someone out there is probably struggling with” or so I like to think (*´ω`*)
Memory and photos boost confidence
Memory tends to stick around in convenient ways. That’s why we should take advantage of this great era where we can capture things with photos.
I sometimes think back to when it was all hand-drawn manuals… so convenient now! The maintainability is relatively good – Kawasaki is quietly amazing.
The tappets weren’t requested, but… want to see them anyway?
The rocker arms are huge – wow!
I was wondering if I should even look, but when I checked anyway everything averaged 0.24mm
The intake was way too loose… Do we even have a shim this size?
KAWASAKI 7.5φ Shim
Past experience speaks volumes? I have an endless stock of every size…
Could it be? Just maybe… Divine intervention (*´ω`*) Wow, we actually finished on the same day – so happy!
Sometimes good things do happen… *though I’m not sure if this counts as a good thing
Never seen one before, so I studied it carefully
I understand why KAWASAKI is so popular every time I touch it. First of all… The construction is super simple There’s very little unnecessary stuff, so the maintainability is excellent.
Simple and good design A no-nonsense, rugged aesthetic. They keep using existing parts and patch them to keep things going long-term. A long-lived model that’s kind to everyone.
Good resale value Easy to sell is also one of the perks. In a way, they’re easy to buy. I really think they’re a fascinating manufacturer.
The fuel pump is external – how decisive! (*´ω`*) With this kind of mounting, it has a long lifespan…
Internal types usually end up discontinued and that’s the end… To be continued.
