one day in the near future for you major service that needs to valve shims adjusted, you can save yourself a small fortune and use this program

http://vicdzen.narod.ru/main_eng/

the manual for the 300 says this for valve clearances

Valve Clearance
Standard:
Exhaust 0.22 ∼ 0.29 mm (0.0087 ∼ 0.0114 in.)
Intake
0.15 ∼ 0.24 mm (0.0059 ∼ 0.0094 in.)



this should help you save a small fortune on your servicing costs. this program also runs in "wine" on linux as well

And just how did you know it was linux. My cheap side must be showing through. I did get a shop manual and have had no problem using the charts in the past but on other bikes I had to take a lot apart, keep it all in order and clean, etc. On the old bikes (including the 07 250 ninja, pop the top gap em adjust them, lock them down and go on to the sync.) Local Kaw shop will swap the shims though.

Mint. Have gotten almost everything to run on it. I'm guessing it makes jetting a bit more of a challenge on fi bikes.

no need to adjust jets on EFI.you do that on this bike with a power commander 5 or similar tuner device
