Did my first valve adjustment today. Watched about 10 YouTube videos, read the service manual twice, and still managed to drop a shim into the engine. Spent 45 minutes fishing it out with a magnet on a stick. But in the end — valves are in spec, engine sounds smoother, and I leveled up as a mechanic.

My partner doesn't ride but they understand why I do, and that's enough. Not everyone needs to share the passion — just respect it.
