I've seen that manual.
It seems to be a little different from the U.S. manual.

For one thing, the U.S. manual specifies the oil viscosity to be either
10W-30 or 10W-40 instead of 10w-30 or 20W-40 in that manual.

Also, that manual doesn't make it clear that to adjust the valves without removing the cams, rocker arm shaft removal is required...

hmmm....

I'm using my bike only for commuting so I have about a month to go before I need to check the valves.

One thing I've noted is that (according to the manual) the fuel tank can be propped up lifting the front and placing a bar between it and the frame. Doing this requires that only the breather hose and the drain hose get disconnected (no need to depressurize the line(s)). I'm hoping that lifting the tank will be enough to get access to the rear valves.

They also recommend removing the PAIR valve before attempting to remove the cylinder head cover, but I'm hoping that I don't need to do this. Did you leave the PAIR valve assembly attached when you removed the cover ?

They also recommend using new gaskets when reinstalling the rocker arm shafts, but I'm hoping I can get away with reuse and no oil leaks. We'll see...

ugh.. for the tank, maybe first I'll try the trick that I did with my Fury.

Leaving all the hoses connected to the tank (towards the rear), I just lifted the front end of the tank and laid it on a stool on the left side of the bike at a right angle from where it was. All hoses still attached to the tank, but the tank completely out of the way for access to all of the valves. Just have to be careful NOT to knock the tank off of the stool !

Hope I can do that with this bike..
