The clearance should be at least 0.18 mm and no more than 0.22 mm. The valve clearance is set by using a spacer that reduces the distance between the cam and the valve by the size of the spacer. Spacers are available in 0.04 mm increments, and the spacer currently in the motorcycle engine is 2.84 mm. Which of the following size spacers, in millimeters, should you use to achieve a correct valve clearance?
