Thx Danno.. that info will be handy for sure...

Just finished valve adjustment actually. no need remove radiator 8) little over 2hrs take apart & put together. I did adjust them to the specs noted above. went for the loose ene of the tolerance tho for the low-end power. I'm not need the top-end, just planning use it to cruise on the nice days & rent to people going for motorcycle license.
I have to note that the bike was actually little tighter than recommended clearances noted above. I had to force in the gauge for minimum tolerance & it would feel stuck trying get it out. If they fit a little easier I prolly wouldn't have adjusted them at all.
I'm wondering it these tolerances being so tight would be a reason to bog down a little when in low rpms? long story short, I went for the other end of the spectrum & did .13mm(.005in) on intake side & .16mm(.006in) on the exhaust hoping this would help a bit towards the symtems I'm having.

symtoms: starts no problem without choke, even cold.
bogs down(not sputter) under throttle at low rpm. acting like too much fuel maybe?
