It took me a little time to learn the procedure for my first valve check. However, I can now easily complete the entire process in 30 minutes. The Zongshen 167FML engine is a very tough, reliable, little powerplant. In my experience, the two best things you can do to keep this engine healthy are:
1. Frequently change the engine oil.
2. Check the valve clearances according to the schedule in the 200GY-2 User's Manual.

I figured now is about time as well, just making sure before I store it for the winter. I have adjusted valves on many different bikes, so this should be a piece of cake as long as I have the spec's, which I do, thanks Spud.
