Default 1984 atc200es (Big Red) Trike

I have a 1984 atc200es Big red three wheeler. It runs very good, but I am wondering, how do I adjust the valves? It can't be all that difficult seeing as how there are valve adjustment caps that are easily removed. As far as I know, it has never had any maintenance until recently when I have done a whole sh!^load of work to get it running as good as it is.

Trikemaster, are you out there?

Thanks!

Back when I had my lil 185s I always dreamed of having a Big Red for its coveted reverse lol. It's been a long time since I've mucked with one of those motors, but if you can get to the rocker adjustment nut and can fit a feeler gauge between the rocker and valvestem then you are golden. Also assuming you know the clearances :-)

This might help you too. I didn't buy it myself, but if it really is the Honda Service Manual then the exact procedure should be in it:

It's either a special kinda person, to be political, or a bot. That same user hit another post of mine with the same type of nonsense.
