I remember reading, valves have a tendancy to tighten over time? why that vs' loosening?

they tighten rather than loosen over time because as your valve seats wear the actual valve recesses farther into the head and moves closer to the rocker. :thumbs: :thumbs:

When removing the fuel tank, does the fuel line have a valve or something to keep what little fuel you have in the tank from leaking out or do have have to have a bone dry tank?  Apprehensive about doing the valve adjustment, but sounds pretty easy.

fuel will not spill out from the tank, but whatever fuel remains inside the fuel hose and TB fuel rail will spill out.

Good to know, I just might build the nerve to adjust my own valves someday.

You don't have to take the fuel tank completely off...remove 4 10mm bolts, unplug fuel pump harness connector...now pick up the tank and rotate it clockwise and place it over the airbox, saves from having to keep removing the fuel line causing uneccesary wear/tear on the clips.
