Default Valve lash adjustment, Im skeered

Ok guys I really need to do a valve lash adjustment since I have about 10 hours on my bike now. Ive never done it but Id like to learn. Ive read posts on KTMtalk about how to adjust and they have multiple different methods.

The 1/6th method seems to be easier than using a feeler guage, but cant that be used at TDC instead of on half a valve opening?

You are scared for no reason on adjusting the valves,, On the ktm talk site Travis D 37 has a short video it will help you alot..

once you do it then it will be easier from there on..

I grew up in Cedar Rapids, How is the riding there?

ktm 4 strokes video for valve adjustments and other maintanance is also at you tube.it's real easy to do the job.you will still want to check the valve with a feeler guage no matter what method you chose to use to adjust the valve.valve lash is not valve clearance and wikipedia most likely will explain valve lash. just dont watch the other stuff on there or you will be even more skeered.
