that's 100% the video I have wanted to find for now 2 years. So grateful this was made.
Awesome! Glad you found our video. Thanks for watching!
Guys,
You do excellent instructional videos! Thank you very much. All of these videos make it super simple for a DIYer.
Keep it up!
This video is awesome. Had no idea how this was done and now I do. Thanks.
***** Awesome! Glad this video helped out. Thanks for watching!
One of the best instructional videos on RUclips! Good job.
I'm working on an '81 GS850 Suzuki.
I'm a Harley guy too...wish you guys published videos for those. Anyway, great detail, concise, and good to have the caption along the video.
I see "red" RTV silicone sealant on the head to help seal the valve cover gasket. As a 40+year Yamaha/Honda factory trained Tech, (now vocational/technical high school Powersports Instructor) I recommend to my students to use Yamabond-4, much cleaner than the red
what would be nice is listening how rough it runs before and how nice it runs afterwards
Probably because it wouldn't run at all lol
@@michaelpresey2273 Ofcourse it would, but usually u dont hear the difference cause its very little. Tho if the clearance gets too low u might hear weird sounds and stuff :D
@@philippammann9250 my dad recently bought an 05 wr 450 and we think the clearances are off as well. It runs really Inconsistently and backfires a lot. We’re hoping by doing this we can fix the rough idle and inconsistent power.
Sorry to be off topic but does anyone know a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I was dumb forgot the account password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Milan Noah instablaster =)
I heard about this scheduled maintenance a little while ago and was dreaded by it. Thank you for showing me how doable this work is, even though I’d rather not have to do it 😂
You are giving me the confidence to do this on my own bikes! Thanks for the great video
Very instructional awesome video! I'll definitely use this when I go to adjust my valves
Noah Boudart Sweet! Thanks for the comment. Thanks for checkin out our video!
Fantastic step-by-step guide to doing a job that is often deemed more difficult than need be. This video is definitely confidence inspiring, and gets me thinking the process is totally within the reach of an amateur mechanic.
Thank you for posting this.
+TS50ER You're welcome, thanks for checkin out our video!
+TS50ER You're welcome, thanks for checkin out our video!
TS50ER it's new to me but I'm doing mine myself got to learn hands on live action!
Rocky Mountain ATV MC np thank you all for the video and support!
my macanic should have bought this because he had the head in his hands several times right?
Such a great example and really good clarity. Thank you so much for this video.
There are two great things in this video: the procedure showed (it helped very much to adjust valve shim in my 2012 CRF 250 R even if the engine is different) and the soundtrack. Thank you very much :D
I think this is the best video on youtube for valve adjustment :)
Well produced video, as all of RM videos are. I have already used the fork seal replacement and tusk light kit install using your videos. Can see everything clearly and easy to follow. This makes me want to buy everything from RM, and I do! Thanks! I'm gonna save a bundle doing this myself.
+ThumperInTheTrees That's really cool to hear! Thanks for commenting.
@Dalton Sigler If it ran fine the last time you put the bike away timing wouldn't just come out. I would first look at bad gas and possibly a clogged jet in the carburetor.
Great video! It’s really nice to get a better understanding of your motor. Thanks a lot!
Thank you SO much for a very thorough video! I will be using THIS video while doing the job on my DR-Z tomorrow!
Thank you for watching and commenting! I'm glad this video will be helping you out.
Good luck on the job tomorrow!
@@rmatvmc Bike is running better! Thanks a ton for the excellent video! Will be using again as a refresher when I check/adjust the valves in the future!
English is not my native language and yet i got it all thanks for the great explanation !
@Kevin Martin Titanium valves will have different coatings on the valve face which will affect the life of the valve and how often you have to actually adjust the clearance. We've seen older YZF's with the stock Ti Valves go years without adjustment and be fine... Stainless Steel Valves on the other hand are hardened steel and tend to last longer than the Ti valves and generally require less maintenance than the Ti valves. The only downside to the steel valves is the weight difference which isn't significant but with the Ti valves being lighter they take less force to open and more importantly less force to close avoiding valve float at the really high rpms. We always recommend replacing the valve springs when replacing valves with the correct springs for the valves you are installing. The stainless steel valves will require a little heavier duty spring to handle the added weight but as long as the proper preparation and steps are taken for installing the new valves whether they are Ti or SS you shouldn't have any problems. Generally if you are looking for longevity SS valves are the way to go!
Great video. Thanks the illustration and excellent explanations
Attempting this job for the first time on my bike, I was confused looking at the workshop manual how to reset the timing chain tensioner, although you only breezed over it, I have it worked out now thanks.
Most helpful video I've seen all day.
Thanks for the awesome posts with this and how to rebuild the top end
Very useful video thank you, i've never seen this demonstrated before!
great detail thanks!!!! will tackle this on my 2011 kx250f once shims arrive...bike already apart and measurements taken
Beautiful, concise, detailed presentation.
Who knew it would actually be so easy. Great video.
Thanks Adam!
I can't belive we use to take my race 250f to a shop 2 times a year to get the vavles adjusted🤣.
Its so easy after watching this video. Feel like a dummy paying a shop to do this for the years I raced.
Just want to say thanks for the video made so much sense when u did the numbers and step by step big help ty
very useful info thanks for sharing ur knowledge i a lot more comfortable in rebuilding an engine the right way
+Rocky Mountain ATV MC @rockymountain oh ok that makes sense now. If you had titanium valves wouldn't they stay within the proper clearance for much longer like the YFZ450R I believe. Thanks tho all your videos are extreamly informative and helpful!
Best vid i've seen on this topic
Great video and instruction for my majesty 400.
Thanks
Love videos.. would be grateful to have more videos for 2017 crf450r.
I did this on my cousins wr250f 2007 and it worked great runs great now
Awesome video! Will be doing this on my 2003 Yamaha FZ1 soon.
I was sceptical about doing the valves myself but after watching this I'm deffinetly not paying a shop to do such an easy job, awesome video! I plan on picking up my shims from your site aswell
+connor wasson That's cool to hear. Good job! If you run into any questions let us know, happy to help!
Great Video, thanks. I am not getting any clearance on my intakes ones and wondering if that was possible. It seams I have to adjust them :-(
Thank you for showing the math, I needed that.
Very concise video, thanks guys. Yes it is obviously more work than on a 2 stroke, but I would feel comfortable following this video and taking pride in working on my bike. It's not actually that hard, it just takes a little time and patience. All bikes are wonderful machines!
this video was a lot of help for me once you get it its not hard at all.
Great tutorial! Well done!
Nice instructional video, thanks...👍
Thanks for making this informative video, job well done !!
Thanks for watching!
great tutorial, thanks
Thank you for making this video Rocky Mountain ATV MC
Gabe Dutton You bet! Thank you for watching and let us know what other videos you'd like to see!
@Kevin Martin I'm not 100% sure what you are referring to when you say valves come out of alignment but as your valves wear they tend to stretch out in a sense causing the clearances between your valve buckets and the lobes on your camshafts to get smaller which if they get too small can actually hold the valve open causing compression problems and starting problems. The valves can also slowly wear into the cylinder head reducing the clearances also causing problems so it's crucial that those clearances are regularly checked and adjusted correctly to ensure easy starting and for the motor to run right. You adjust those clearances with different thicknesses of shims. If the clearance was too small you would go to a smaller shim to open it up a little bit. You need the timing of the valves to be spot on and the valve clearances to be adjusted correctly in order for the bike to run properly
Rocky Mountain ATV MC removing and replacing valves
Rocky Mountain ATV MC How tight do you go on the cam chain tensioner? Until it is tightened down all the way? Is there suppose to be any slack or play at all in the cam chain?
Rocky Mountain ATV MC OK thanks for your help and advice on that big job I have ran into on this bike think it didn't need jug pistion rings huh valves all along my mechanic is fired he should have bought that I think huh!!!
"your valves wear they tend to stretch out" ??? whaaaa
You are God sent. I cannot tell you how much this video helped me. Very well done! Thank you, my friend.
Thank you very much. Happy to help!
No problem, man. Keep up the good work. A very big thanks from Jamaica.
gunz365 JAMAICA! Glad to hear it man :)
thank you . best one l,ve seen clear and very infomative .
Crystal Clear explaination 🤩
nailed it once again! thanks for the video post.
You're welcome. We're happy to help!
Very clear video, personally I found a micrometer more accurate than a vernier caliper 👍
No sh*t
Very nice tutorial! Now doing this on a 4 inline 16 valve Kawa is a bit more scary 😂
excellent video, thanks!
Im a learning mechanic, but this looks pretty hard for me lol. Fun to see thanks guys👍
I don’t know why it took me over 20 rewind to learn how to do the math but I just got it figured out. Thanks so much. Just need to get my shins in the bike and go ride again.
the manuals usually have a table to refer as well
you guys are the very best.
Good illustrations. My question is, would it be ok to change out all the shims with factory spec shims each time I do a valve check?
Good vid man
Fantastic Video! Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
Beautiful presentation thanks buddy form. Australia
Really good vid guys
Great job!
I have a 07 king quad 450, with 1100 miles/165hrs, runs great, but will make a slight ticking sound after it warms up, was wondering if valves might need adjustment? Any ideas thanks great video
This video SAVED MY ASS!!! Got my bike open and to the shims and thought.....wait...how do I do this. Just so happens I have a 08 wr250f so this is perfect. Thanks
We're glad it helped you out! Thanks for watching the video and giving your feedback!
Excellent video. Thank you
Thanks.. hope it helped!
I haven't found much for a '79 Honda CB750F DOHC, but you explain the math process pretty well here. I hope I can use this (X4) lol, and get my box project running this week, wish me luck~
Sweet! Good luck.. this process should work
thanks...
This really makes me appreciate adjustable flat tappets! All these numbers and shims are crazy for a simple valve adjustment...
+Ron Garvin Haha, it's a little more work now isn't it? :)
You make it look easy! This is the best video break down of this procedure I've seen! My car runs this painfully complicated shim/bucket system too but its got a bunch more valves :(
+Ron Garvin These are nice if you know how to do it, as your friends will love you. I do valve adjustments often for people.
what u scared of a little thinking
guys like rocky mountain break it down so easy and understandable
Great Video, thanks for sharing.
You bet, thanks for watching!
Can you tell me the TOP current ATV's that have SHIM cam adjustments for their engines? I DETEST the stud type adjustment setup s on mower engines etc, and was NEVER good at it. JUST SUBSCRIBED !
Nice clear video
Hi, nice video there, thanks!. I have a question, did you reuse the head bolts? Regards
Brilliant video
Most interested video
Thanks
Awesome tut
awesome detail
You helped my a lot
Excellent how to. 2 questions. Why are some shim buckets like my 6 cylinder Honda Gold Wing only require a check every 54,000 kms? Why is the the new high performance Honda CB1000RR-R scrapping shim buckets for fingers?
What would be the valve feeler gauge specs for a 2019 yz250f? I dont have a manual and i only find the specs for older models. Thanks
@vilian paska We appreciate it!
Awesome vid and edits and filming and tools and shop and bike
best video ever man
Thanks!
great video but I'm still not clear at what cause the valve clearance to increase thanks and keep up the good work
Just wear and tear
great video, thank you
Thanks a lot!
I have a 2000 yz426f and its sat for about a month and when i tried starting it it would only run for a few seconds or not run at all and backfire alot. So i was wondering of this is just a crappy gas problem and dirty carb or possibly the timing became off the last time i rode it? Thanks
Awesome video, nice touch using napoleon dynamite's brother kip to narrate the video!
aaronveal123 Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've got a part in an instructional video for Rocky Mountain ATV/MC. Besides, we both know that I'm training to be a cage fighter.
Question: my CBR600RR has .007-.009" for inlet and .010-.012 for exhaust clearance. A few measure .007-.0075 and .010-.0105. Should i adjust the shim size if tight but within spec? Do shims only come in .002 increments? If yes, then any adjustment would provide excessive clearance.
My ltr came missing can locating clip I thought I dropped it in timing chain area but pulled stator cover and wasn't laying in there so where can I get one n should I try n just run it or u think it's still in there
What would cause all three intake valves to have zero clearance? The exhaust valves are just under spec at .15
Great video man
Thanks for watching!
Great video
Looks like a lot of work to do for every 30 hours of riding. Thinking I should have stuck with a 2 stroke.
+bigkatunas A lot more moving parts hands down :)
Go ahead and overpay to have a shop to do it.
bigkatunas The 4 strokes can go much longer and better life with daily maintenance than 2 strokes. 2 strokes are a pain to deal with but they're all good :)
Whats a "pain" about 2 strokes? Oh you have to use pre-mix...ohhh god so difficult!
KING TROLL i can go 2000 miles b4 oil and 12k b4 valve check.....ill take 4 stroke
do you have to do all the valve measurement or can you just replace them with original sizes???
great video thank you
selçuk karagöz Thanks for watching! Glad you liked.
do i have to run shims because my valves are at 0mm and if i just take the shims out it puts the spacing perfectly between my 0.10mm and 0.20mm speck ? and also could i run one bucket with a shim and the other without to make them the exact same?
Awesome info thx !
Hello, could i also take the valve clearance service limits from this 07wr and use them on my 03wr would this matter? Or would you not recommend?
Thanks for sharing..
Can you do a video of a valve job for an xr400?
