You did a hell of a great job with this video, thank you, my question is how do I go about figuring out which shim I need? I’m doing this very same thing but that’s the part I don’t understand, I am planning on sticking the shims in and going back together and checking it and repeating this until I get to the right specs because it’s the only way I know how 😂 thanks for any help, you’re video alone is a huge help
To figure out the correct shim, you need to measure your valve clearance first when the piston is at tdc, take apart the cams, measure the shims that were out of spec, do the math, install the correct shim, reassemble. The video should explain this in greater detail. Thank you for watching!
Thanks for the very informative video that convinced me not to buy a honda 2021 CFR300L to avoid this pain in the ass, assuming the engine design hasn't likely changed. Figure $80 for a shim kit if you DIY, and a fortune if you must pay a Honda dealer's service department. Problem solved the Honda CFR300L rally ABS is marked off my list of potential dual sport motorcycles to buy. I'll likely buy a Suzuki DR650
Honda uses a uni cam. It's a good design. Comparing a cfr300 to a drz650 is like apple's to oranges, but I'd definitely get the drz650, you wont be disappointed
The cfr250l and cfr300l are completely different motors than the R motor shown in this video. The L motors are rock solid reliable and easy to start and much less maintenance. The R motors have a very aggressive design for competition and require more maintenance
Lol the crf300l valve checks every 10,0000-16,000km lol. My crf250r every 10hrs and if I thrash it on road it doesn’t last 10hrs without backfiring. Only issue with 300L is suspension needs to be binned from day 1
I commented before I finished watching the video. Not sure if that last ship was quite in spec, but then again maybe you have the client a discount? I like the video overall and I’m not trying to be a hater. It would have been nice to see the bike start at the end. My opinion would be different if you showed that.
I would verify valve timing and clearances were set correctly. If it ran before and it doesnt now, then it's probably something they did, and if it didnt run and it still doesnt run, maybe it's something else...
Hey I need help! My 09crf450 won't start unless I bump start it, and when I do bump start it soon as I put it in gear and release the clutch it bogs out an dies ... Could a bad stator be the cause?
Or somewhere in the carb gettin too much fuel when you give it gas doesn't have enough time to burn it bogs out n dies, not kicking over could also have clogged jet or broken needle jet
You're looking for clearance first, If I'm reading your question right.... Then what I would do is just figure out how bad the spec is , on your valves, use your calipers to find an appropriate shim. I would re-mark my shim supply to SAE, so much more logical and easy, the Japanese are getting back at us for using metric for this process. lol
Probably the only n best video to watch.. although you learn a little from every different video
Some people in comments hating for irrelevant reasons good video helped alot man👍
Nice work as usual. Keep the videos coming
Nice. I like the walkthrough of the leakdown check.
I just bought. 250X. This will be very helpful. I think it's a neat design by Honda only using a single camshaft.
Tune it up brotha. Honda technology is superior for a reason. Enjoy your 250x.
The full length video was very helpful. About how long did this all take?
Great video 👍
Great video, thanks!

Ok
I just got my valves shimmed from the shop got it back , Now when i kick it over it makes a backfire every so many kicks and wont start , Any idea?

Thats a sign of bad compression, valves or piston
Or somewhere in the carb gettin too much fuel when you give it gas doesn't have enough time to burn it bogs out n dies, not kicking over could also have clogged jet or broken needle jet
What do you charge for this service?
What would this cost?
What’s this song called?
What's the tool called you measured the shims with not the feeler gauges
Micrometer screw gauge
Why doesnt anyone ever say the shim size themselves i have a 06 and i need the stock shim sizes.. im stuck!
I think these are 7.48mm
Or they could be 9.48mm. I cant recall. You can pull the shims out and measure their diameter
Stock are 7.48
You're looking for clearance first, If I'm reading your
question right....
Then what I would do is just figure out how bad the spec
is , on your valves, use your calipers to find an appropriate shim.
I would re-mark my shim supply to SAE, so much more logical and
easy, the Japanese are getting back at us for using metric
for this process. lol
But I don’t see engine runs, but it’s ok the video I have same problem
Do you have a email adress i wolud like to ask you some questions
For the sake of sanity!!! Loose the music!!
You must be insane to ride the moto
Next time dont use such lame intro, dude.
Thanks for advice
