    The missus is looking to upgrade from her first bike (V-star 250) to something more substantial.

    Really short legs means she only feels comfortable on two new bikes, Honda CMX500 & the Street 500.


    The Honda appears to have that PIA system of shims & buckets for valve adjustment meaning lots of

    fiddling & disassembly to adjust the valves.  What system does the Street 500 use?

    Thanks Arron, exactly what I needed to know!


    Just the same procedure as the XV-250, easy & simple.
