just make sure the feeler gauge leads don't stick together and you will find that the job is pretty easy. Hardest part was snaking the front valve cover out, just be patient and take your time.

Thank you for making this video series! I have a 2009 Honda Shadow Spirit 750 and will be doing the lifter adjustments next Spring when I hit the 600 mile mark.
