Should I adjust these valve clearances?

I pulled of the valve cover last night and checked the clearances of my XJ650RJ. They seemed to be pretty good, here's the numbers:

Intake
.005 .004 .005 .006

Exhaust
.006 .0055 .0045 .0055


Should I swap out the shims to get completely w/in spec? Or is this okay until next time. I don't have the shim tool yet, but don't mind purchasing if I need to.

Also note, this is step 1 in my 10 step plan to a better running bike, next up is the carb clean, synch, tune, synch, tune....

Thanks!

 

Assuming your measurements are in inches:

#2 intake is too tight

All exhaust valves too tight.

 

If you look at Chacals' valve clearances, it will tell you which to adjust. According to the engine size.

Carl is absolutely correct; and it can't "wait until next time" because having correct valve clearances has to come BEFORE any carb tuning efforts or you're wasting your tme.

 

Thanks for the replies. I'll try to get the shim sizes tonight so I can get some replacements ordered up. Think i'll start with the zip-tie shim tool.
