SV650: Valve Adjustment!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 мар 2017
- Hey this is a long one. Make sure you have the service manual!!! I cannot stress this enough. Also make sure you take your spark plugs out before you turn the engine! Watch this to watch the process. I had to adjust 6 out of my 8 valves. The spec is 0.1-0.2 mm for the intake valves and 0.2-0.3mm for the exhaust valves.

This 2005 sv650s (Ruby) is my first bike, I got it a little over a year ago, it has over 60k miles and is still running strong.
Stick around to see me break, fix, and ride it.

Just want to add my thanks! Helping future generations of riders. You probably have no idea how beneficial this video is for anyone trying to do their own valve timing, I can't thank you enough!
best video i've seen for the valve check/shim change. very, very well done.
Well thank you!
I'm gonna be checking my SV's valve clearances soon and adjust them if needed, your video in combination with the service manual is going to help me out alot for sure! Thanks alot for filming and explaining the entire process along the way, I can imagine it's not easy to be focused on filming while working on the bike at the same time.
Very helpful video, thanks.
You can avoid taking out the cam tensioners if you undo the large center bolt that holds the spring, then remove the bolt (that's the one you cracked loose before pulling the tensioner out) and the spring. Then you have to reach down inside the case where the chain goes, using a long screwdriver, and push the pawl to release the plunger and get the tension off the chain (like you showed at 27.10). It is a little fiddly, but it saves on pulling the whole of the tensioner out.
Easily the best and most thorough repair video on RUclips. Thanks so much for making this, I finally feel comfortable doing my cam job
Props to you sir. I'd probably never attempt a job like this but I've got a 2006 sv650 with like 34k miles and know stuff will eventually start to need repairing. Keep posting the DIY vids!
I'm sure this procedure heaps of more time because you took the time to get good shots, document and narrate everything. Thanks for creating the video, appreciate it! Luckily my SV is only at 7k miles so I've still got a while to go.
+Magnus Nyborg yeah I wanted to throw the camera away and just finish it a few times so I'm glad you enjoy it ha!
Best how to video I've seen so far, keep em coming!
Great thing to know your tech stuff!
The ones of us that don't... Pay $$$!
Great work man!
Rock ON!
Thanks so much for your guidance and level of detail!
I have a 2014 V-Strom 650, which has an almost identical engine to your SV650. Before removal, i noticed that the camshaft markings in the rear cylinder were strangely not aligned as in my Haynes manual, but rather, both gears are advanced one tooth to the right. I'm trying to decide if I should put them back like I found them, or to use the Haynes manual setting.
Your video has given me a lot of peace of mind because your rear cylinder camshafts are set up just like mine look right now.
The Haynes manual that I own was printed in 2014 and claims to cover the DL650 V-Strom 2004 to 2013 as well as the SFV650 Gladius 2009 to 2013. My model is a 2014, but it's the same bike as the 2014. For anyone looking to reference the rear cylinder camshaft orientation in the Haynes manual, it's shown in Figure 8.9. ISBN 978 0 85733 643 9, Haynes #5643.
Whats the worst that could happen in alternating between these two settings? I've read some theories that this can be done to increase torque.
The big problem that I have is that I didn't check the front cylinder camshaft orientations before removing them, so I don't know if they looked like the manual, which also agrees with your front cylinder.
Awesome tutorial! I have done several valve adjustments on bikes before but never the kind with shims so I never needed to remove the cams before. This makes it all a little less "scary".
Glad to hear people are finding it useful! What you don't see in the video is me uninstalling and reinstalling the cams multiple times to figure out the timing
what an absolute PITA.
I have a 09 sfv650. this guide was great. I managed to leave the throttle body on and just deal with the shit show of space for the rear cylinder.7 hours because I didn't have to do any new shims on the rear cyl. probably woulda been a 10 hour job if I had. glad it's done, see ya in 14,500miles lol
Glad to know this works for an SFV 650! I have the same one you do but mines at 12,500 miles rn. It’s been a beast for the 3-4k miles I’ve put on her. I’ll be doing this at 14,5 mark myself. Any pointers you would give?
@@danielramos7556two notes:
First, I took off the air box and to do that there's two 3mm hex bolts holding it to the intake runners. Get a long ass hex key (screw driver, ideally) or prepare to spend 45 minutes using the normal length to slot into the bolt and then turn it with pliers like I did.
Second, the cam chain tensioner needs to be reset to installation position before you reinstall it. The manual shows how in 1d-36
Good luck have fun
@@GarryDeWitt appreciate the info man! I’m sure my future self is gonna need all the luck he can😂
I recently delved into a Nija EX500R for my first valve adjustment. I learned a ton by doing it myself. I know your video is on an SV but I'm currently contemplating getting a used SV or a Ninja 650. Comparing the Suzuki's to the Kawasaki Ninja 650 I wanted to do some homework first. (I currently ride a 2018 Versys 650...sold the EX500). Anyway, you did a great job on the video, explained things clearly and had excellent video showing all the parts and placements! And because of your video I'm able to see that the Suzuki's appear much easier to get to than the Kawasaki's. (I know my EX was a bear just to get the valve covers off and out through the frame - even with the cables pulled!).
Again, great video. Learn a lot!
Thanks man! Glad to hear it!
Nice video, easy to see wtf is going on. That gives me a great idea of what to expect when I check mine. I also need to do the whole throttlebody sync, tps adjustment too if you want another video suggestion.
Great video mate. The best one I've seen yet
brilliant video mate. Your dedication is highly appreciated!!
Great video, highly recommend using a torque wrench on that cam bridge and some moly lube too when reassembling rather than just oil by itself. Thanks for taking the time to make this video 👍👍
Yeah I wouldn't do it again without those things. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this great tutorial! One question: can I turn the crankshaft to F position before rear cylinder camshafts removal? Just to avoid doing this when the chain is off the sprockets...
this is the best video i have seen on valve thanks!
Thanks a lot from France ! Very nice video ! it will help me, I have to do it on my 650 V-strom (same engine)
Thanks for making this video! Saved me a lot of money. Now I have the background song stuck in my head
I need to do lots to my bike this year. I'm at 45k and SCMM is coming up.
Good analysis bro, this is so helpful. I have managed to do mine after changing rings and cleaning valves for it hasn't been working for some years. Can u help on how to make ignition? Mine doesn't have anything, I just have to gather everything and start making ignition for me to have spark
Absolute hero man. Thanks for making this video.
+WyeRider thanks man! glad it was helpful!
Good vid, got my 2 front exhausts shims to do soon.😐
About to do this. Going to try to not remove the radiator nor the gas tank
Hey, I've used a couple of your videos to help me fix my 2006 SV650S. You give really good instructions. I just saw on your channel that you live in Phoenix? I live in Phoenix, too, and thought it would be cool if we rode around together or something. I don't have any friends with motorcycles, so it gets kinda boring. Lol.
Awesome video. The camera punch scared the shit out of me hahaha. Will be doing mine soon!
Let me know if you have questions!
Thank you so much!
You helped alot of people.
Thx for this amazing guide. ❤️ Friendly greetings from Germany.
Why the chain do not jump a tooth (at the crankshaft gear) when the chain is completely lose and the cam is out?
Great video, tho
Nice work... thx 4 the visuals!
Clever lad,good on you.
I know you don't own this bike anymore, but do you remember if removing the airbox + throttle bodies is enough to access the front cyclinder cam chain tensioner?
Awesome video, thanks for posting!
Hey have you cleaned out your valve stems before? My 05 sv has been giving me issues, and I saw the valve stems have a bunch of carbon and gunk on them. I tried seafoaming it, it didn't help all to much.
Is there anyway to prime the oil pump before starting? Guess it doesn't matter. Like crank without the plugs or does that not work on the sv650. Some cars have different pumps that need higher speeds.
Thank you very much! This was very helpful.
Any link to the service manual? for some silly reason suzuki have started to make theirs all semi private so people dont work on their bikes...
Great video. Let's me know what to expect. Thanks!
Happy to help! Thanks for the kind words!
personally believe that :: you're definitely helping for the people a lot with your video !!!! so it's a great thing nonetheless you should focusing a little bit more what you're saying to avoid your mistakes... Lol anyway you don't need remove the chain tensioner ... just lose it...and puss the pin rood back with your finger ( from inside the cylinder......) cheers
Great video mate
fantastic video thanks definately best one i have seen thx
Thanks! Happy to help!
Great job dude!
Thanks!
how do i tight the chain? if its loose
Nicely done. Would you still recommend the liquid gasket? Im getting ready to do mine and am pretty hesitant about not using OEM or at least the cloth cut outs.
I know you're probably already past this, but I'd get the OEM gasket for sure
Thanks for the video you did a great job!
Thanks Ron!
Is this the same process for a sv1k you think?
do you still have the link for the service manual pdf by chance?
what kind of exhaust do you have?
Bro, any way to get your service manual?
if you do such thing its good to change all closer to hogher vslue cos clearence decrease with time and mileage and if ypu left those close to lower value you must adjust again more often 😉i setup in me sv intake on 0,18/19 exhaust 0,28/29😉👍🏻
awesome video
Great Video
23:14 over here making sweet love to the motorcycle lmao
Thank you for the help and video. Worked very well. I had 4 valves that needed adjusting. Front cylinder only oddly enough.
I ended up leaving the gas tank and radiator. The radiator can be pushed down after all the clips come off.
The gas tank I supported with the tank stand + my gps mount instead of the triple tree mount area.
The worst part was my spark plugs were 1 step colder than they should've been and they were carbon fouled. So I replaced with oem.
Took me from 10pm to 5am about 7 hours. Including reading the FSM. Definitely worth taking your time. Also replaced brake fluid, coolant, oil, filter, and gas (because it was too full) at the same time.
Hell yeah! Congrats!
So much work and so many points where something could go wrong. I wonder how many of this engines died because of valves lash or if they do more than 100000k even with gaps out of specs...
How many miles are on your SV? I'm at 22k but there's no sign of my valves needing adjustment yet.
+philip orlando Thanks for watching hope it was helpful! The service manual says you should check and adjust if necessary every 15k miles. If they're within spec then you don't have to do all that. Keeping them within spec means your engine will live longer. I picked this bike up with 58k miles and now it's at 60k I don't think the valves were ever adjusted.
Yeah this will be my go to guide for checking valves, other than the manual of course! You made getting the valve timing right seem pretty manageable. 58k without any adjustment is crazy! Did your SV show any signs of needing a valve adjustment, or were you just checking them because of the service interval?
philip orlando I wouldn't say that there were any signs. I just wanted to kinda tear into the engine and put it back together. It does run much stronger now that the valves are done though.
That's good to hear. Keep on wrenchin' my dude!
@@porlando12 By the time it gives you an indication they are out of adjustment, you may have already caused damage. It will take a little longer to start when hot and out of adjustment because parts expand when hot and the valves are not closing all the way when out of adjustment. This allows the valves to get burned around the area where they seal to there seats during combustion cycles. Engine will make less power too because you need the intake valves closed all the way when combustion occurs so all the force pushes down on the piston . If valves are out of adjustment with too much clearance, valve lift will be less than optimal and maximum power will not be obtained.
this first or second gen ??
+DB Coop this is 2nd gen. There shouldn't be any big differences though
IS IT TRUE that SV650 valves usually stay within specs for much longer than 15,000 miles, if the engine hasn't been flogged and the oil gets changed?
Obviously there's no guarantee that won't lead to grief, but is that generally true?
+Pat Kittle yeah they're supposed to stay in spec for awhile. But every sv is gonna be a little different.
Excellent DIY video, thank you!
I do think RUclips soundtracks get in the way, but at least yours isn't annoying enough to ruin my concentration.
Good job but I think I would just pay a shop and save yourself a headache…
This is NOT a good video on how to do this. And ALL the mistakes should have been edited out before posting !
Please send a link to your video on how to do this or a better one, thanks
I agree, for example all engine bolts need to be torqued down, looks like a beginner
