Hot off the fax machine from Honda Canada (thank you for
your cooperation!) is this chart of revised valve clearances
for the V4 bikes.  In all cases, intake and exhaust are
set to the same clearance.   Note that these values are used 
in conjunction with the special tool!   See elsewhere on my 
home page for that information.

    the notch faces down.  The special tool should have the notch 
    in the ring facing up for use on all other models.
