Default How do I adjust the valves on my T8?

Title says it all. I do not have a manual and know there is an expert out there somewhere.

First off. Go buy a shop manual for the O/B you wish to work on.
That will tell you what you will need. And what tools and how to performed said task.

Do not adjust them without decarbing the engine FIRST!
Valve gaps are right on the motor....
Set them very lightly...the springs are really soft.

I have a Yamaha F8. I would assume the valve adjustments are the same. I wonder if I could get the shop manual e-mailed to me?
