Valve adjustments on new bikes is like 15k increments
Not very concerning to me
Guess I might be pioneering this whole thing ha

No I live in Wisconsin so 15k could be 2 seasons of riding
I'm very good to my bikes
Ito me having a bad ass daily rider would be worth pulling the engine every winter to adjust valves

How's it fit in the frame?
New liter bike engines are tiny so I'm guessing I'll have to ad flanges to the frame to mount it properly
Do you have a built thread I can view?

The Suzuki top and bottom rear motor mounts are a perfect fit to the
77 kz frame. All I did was slide the motor to line-up with the rear sprocket
which put motor off center of the frame by 1/8 and added new spacer
to the motor mount bolts. Install a new mount on bottom rail to fit suzukis motor. You wont need to notch the frame or an off
set frt sprocket. The exhaust ports will clear the front frame tubes.
The Suzuki headers have a tighter radius so the cut them just before
the bend and added 1 1/2 so the pipes would clear the frame.
The 636 swing arm and frt forks really adds a nice look to the bike.
Hope this helps in some way. If others have a comment please jump in I can use
the help.
GOOD LUCK
