now there are some variables, due to wear and tear on the bike,settings and such, that these settings might not be the best. as said going by CLYMER's book. this would be the nominal settings for "normal" operations.
(EDIT..this is an OLDER book, so UK/CAN/AUS owners, and others i do NOT have info for 1999 and newer. ONLY 1992-1998)
