Reading the valve lash specs right outta the "Official' Kaw repair manual for my engine. I & E : .002, ~ .039

How can that 2nd spec be correct ?

You missed a zero .0039 in.

BlazNT- Yes I agree .0039, but the .039 is exactly what is listed in the Kaw Repair manual, it is their typo, I would say.

Thank You Sir.

Re: Kaw FR651V valve specs .004 ~ .006 is correct

Got some bad info from online Kawasaki Repair Manual. :thumbdown:

Correct valve lash specs are actually .004 ~ .006 cold for the FR651V (verified by Kawasaki).

I agree, that is a double whoops. I got that link for my engine on this forum.

I gotta get a better source.

I down loaded the manual from Kaws site with the wrong info in it.

You did ? wrong info ?

My thought is if my online Kaw manual has wrong valve lash specs, what else could be possibly wrong ?

Got my mower back today, tech said Kaw likes lash set in the middle of .004 ~ .006, intakes were OK, Exhausts were a lil loose. Hopefully good now.
Hopefully when rains stop & I can get out & test her out on my lawn.

I am gonna get that 10w-40 Kaw oil out, my mower never used oil till I put that 10w-40 oil in last oil change. Going back to straight 30wt. Like it came with.
