The heart of your BMW GS dual sport or adventure bike relies on precise valve timing and clearance. Over time, engine heat and mileage can throw those tolerances off—leading to loss of power, engine noise, hard starting, and reduced fuel efficiency. At Motorhelmets, we offer expert valve adjustment and repair services that ensure your GS delivers responsive, long-lasting performance on every terrain.

Why Valve Adjustment Is Essential for Your GS

• Restore Engine Power & Efficiency – Maintain ideal air/fuel mixture and valve timing.
• Prevent Premature Engine Wear – Incorrect valve clearances can damage cams, lifters, or valves.
