Thanks for the positive comments.... they are great bikes indeed. The engine is superb with all the power right where you need it most without having to wring its neck. A big hello to y'all down there in South Australia from Lincolnshire, UK.
Hiya buddy... without checking the manual off the top of my head the 650 is similar to the 1250 and I'm afraid if your valve clearances are out of spec you will need to change the shims to bring it back into the required tolerances. Sadly we are talking camshafts removal and refitting, timing etc which is not a bad job especially as you've come this far, rocker cover off etc. Sorry if you didn't want to hear that mate. All the best Mark
@@BullyBonanza there is a chart in the manual that explains the correct size shim you need to replace the existing one with given the tolerance range and the thickness of the one in question. There is quite a bit involved and if you're not comfortable I'd certainly recommend leaving it to the mechanics at the shop who have all the equipment etc. All the best my friend 👍
My friend has the same bike they are amazing, pity Suzuki don't make them anymore. Great Video and greetings from South Australia.

Thank you
pfff... I hate hoses.. I will get a B1200
Good for you... go get 'em my friend
I've just checked the clearance on my 2010 650s and they do need adjusting. Is there a way to do this without changing the shims? Thank you.
