1985 Honda xr80 valve clearance specs

SOURCE: Valve specs for VT 500 honda shadow 1983

Hi,
Your valve clearances should be:
Intake .08-.12 mm (.003-.005 in)
Exhaust .12-.16 mm (.005-.006 in)
I usually start all gaps in the middle of given specs, then fine tune from there.
Hope this helps

Bastards! Valves will only get tighter on our bikes so there is that. If you are concerned call another honda shop 1-800 and get service department to listen to you

start by checking for fuel, and spark, if they are good, then turn the idle screw all the way in, slowley and dont force it, once you got it in all the way then turn it out 3 full turns, as this is a good rule for the idle on first start after a rebuild. if thats not working then check the engine for good compression, you'll need to contact the dealer and ask for a cyl compression spec. If thats the problem the engine will not start no matter how much you tweak it, it will have to be rebuilt. good luck

I would consult and owners manual for procedure and correct gap setting..after finding the correct gaps, you would need to pull the valve cover , position the timing mark as described in owners manual then losen and adjust valves.
