Excellent video, going to give this a whirl today. Had it apart but my 22mm impact socket wouldn't fit in the hole to turn the motor, so had to wait to get a normal chrome thin walled 22mm, should be easy with the info you gave. Thanks!
Very helpful. Just putting my old/new 85' VX-700 back in service and wanted to clear the valve adjustment before I turned her over. Had been mothballed by previous owner. Haven't a clue what was satisfactory so far.
@@aussiewantok that's the reason I have parts engines, and still looking for a non-running parts bike for all those goodies that will cost me a Fortune on eBay. Know you Aussie's have it far worse than us bloke's in the States, what with the Fed's playing Patty-Cake with the Milwaukee Metal Mashers (HD) and their lawsuits in 84'! Have a great week my friend. Off to push more car parts at Advance.
@@murraykriner9425 mate, I like these bikes cause they're simple...as simple as workable engines goes ...and thankfully, they do not get me any speeding tickets

It's getting harder and harder to find parts...oversized pistons? Not a chance in hell

🤣🤣🤣🤣 "ooooo, well I'm just going to go with it."
It was informative and very helpful. Thank you. I just had to give you hell because of that comment.
Thanx a lot for the informative video! J/Sweden
Great video, mate. Short and succinct 👌🏼

@@aussiewantok I don't mind that stuff at the end of a video. But yeah, at the start and randomly halfway through, not so good.
Sigue subiendo más videos, por favor!!!
wery nice u are a grate mecanican
It was a good video but what'd you do about your cam being off point on the second one?
It's close enough, cannot get it better than that
Great video way better than the others ive seen but..... what if it is off how do you adjust the time?? Do you havea video of you doing that???
No vid for that, I'll do that when i reassemble the other motor, pistons on their way from USA...
Sorry to ask a stupid question. Does the bike has to be in neutral gear or In gear with clutch pulled?
I do it in neutral, having it in gear would work, it would just take more effort to turn,
Thx for asking
did the timing being off a little bit on that front cylinder affect anything?
@@willstamps5641 that's the best you can get, I believe. The bike still runs fine. Literally, I still have it and ride it ;-)
It should be 0.10 and 0.15 mm (cold) for top and bottom valves? That's what is in my workshop manual.
In is 0.1 and exhaust 0.15mm, when cold...
Haha .1 = .10 😁
Hey, would you ever be able to show how to tune the carbs for the XV750? id like to learn how.
Mate, beyond my abilities, I just clean them
Steves DIY, check out his channel, he's like the Virago guru
@@aussiewantok thanks man.
According to the manual this should be done every 4000miles.... Is it really that important? And what is a sign that you would need to do this?
Poor performance and noise. I've never really experienced either, and check the valves like once every 2 years...
@@aussiewantok thanks 😁
