How do I know if my Honda valves need adjusting?
You can know if you need to adjust with a flat meter and see if they are in the specification. Basically, you just need to adjust them.
How do I know if my valves are floating?
The floating valve can be physically seen as folded push-buttons, broken push-buttons in rock arms, folded valves with eliminated head(s) and corresponding line on the piston head. Depending on the gravity of the floating valve, any combination of one to all the above visual signs may be present.

The best way to know when tubes need to be replaced is to listen, because there are some common signs. First, start to notice some cambis tones, such as a high-end loss, little or no triple, or a bass without clairvoyant.
How do I know if I need my motorcycle valves adjusted?
Usually, too tight valves do not point to you until it is too late. Look at the mileage number on the bike, compare the mileage number in your manual maintenance section next to the valve verification. If they match, you have to check your valves. The only way to be safe is to start the coverage and check them.
When should I adjust my valves?
I don't know when I need a valve adjustment. The valve lash should be checked at recommended intervals. If your engine makes a loud clicking or tapping noise when starting up, or if you experience a loss in engine power, then it's time for a valve lash adjustment.
