Valve Adjustment on my C50

[da king]

Does anyone have a step by step instructions on how to adjust valves in a C50 Suzuki Boulivard. I hate to go buy a manual for 150. :mrgreen: thanks

My dealer mistakenly ordered a c50 clymer manual for me, it was $34 and the Suzuki manual is $86 not $150. I thought the c50 had Hydraulic valve lash adjusters to eliminate valve adjustment and maintenance like the c90. I guess not? I hate valve adjustments, glad I don't have to worry about it anymore. Or do I? Guess I had better double check.

C50 require valve adjustments; they do not have hydraulic valves.

There is no such thing as hydraulic "valves", it is either hydraulic lifters for lash adjusters (which are basically the same thing). The valve itself is always one solid piece, that is pushed up by the hydraulic lifter or lash adjuster. My car has hydraulic lash adjusters, which is nice, never needing adjusting. They are also VERY nice in motorcycles, I wish the C50 had them.
