I would love to see and learn more about the cbr600rr 07 as i have one and i am dying to learn how to care and manage everything around the bike :) Thank you
This guy is very book smart type of individual but coming from a mechanic He is no mechanic I want every body who watched this video to know that if something falls in your spark plug hole it will not end up in your oil this is impossible also you should replace all gaskets and fuel rail o rings if disassembled this guy has alot of potential and one day could be a real mechanic but along way to go. In my opinion
I would have adjusted the ones on the tight side back to the loose side of the spec. Because you have a couple on the limit and now you’ll have to open it up in another 10k miles, I personally wouldn’t let it go 5k on the limit. If you set them to the middle or loose side of the spec you could have gone 25k till the next interval. Just my opinion. Getting down to the valve cover is a huge amount of work compared to taking the cams off, so if I’m down that far and some are on the tight side, I’ll definitely loosen them up so I can go longer until the next interval.
Hey mate, just a question. My bike, honda cbr 600 rr 2004, is lately stalling in neutral at stops even clutched in and also while riding will lose power for a second or two or will jerk forward sometimes as I'm deccelerating. Do you have any idea what that might be? Thanks
And my issue at the moment is that when the bike gets too hot in the summer time, it struggles to start up and i have to let it cool down to at least 70 or 80 degrees celcius before it starts up again... and according to honda it has to do with the valve clearance.. .so i would love to try and do the fix myself lol
Yes there is a section in the manual, that mentions this problem. It is possible that the exhaust gases aren't venting properly. I would also suggest checking your coolant levels. 👍🏿
If you do need adjustments, I’d recommend determining the size shims needed and ordering them, rather than buying a shim kit. You’ll get a lot of shims you’ll never need with a kit. I’m on my second attempt of adjusting. I now have the difficult to start issue. Thought it was an electrical issue, battery possibly. But has no problem starting if it sat for a while. Looks like I’ll be going over the gap distance again.
The problem is the starter i am a mech by trade. The solenoid which is built on the starter when starting to go bad first symptoms is no start when hot
@@aoq2857 I believe so. I can see the top of the valve. It’s sideways and just looks messed up to hell. Everything else actually looks fine. I bought a used 09 motor but I want to get my original motor fixed. Maybe even upgrade some internal parts of the motor. I love my 08 CBR. Got any suggestions?
@@jasontodd9302 If there isn't any damage to the cylinder head, you could just replace the broken valve and other damaged parts, but if there is damage to the cylinder head, it might be more cost effective to just get a used motor. (OEM parts are ridiculously expensive). To remove the valves you'll need a valve spring compressor. Also, if you are going to replace a valve stem make sure you lap it. Hope this helps!
@@aoq2857 ok so it’s good to know I’m looking in the right direction. I was looking at Carrillo Industries connecting rods and JE forged piston kit. My original motor is out. Just swapped it out with a used motor from an 09 CBR600RR. But now it’s flashing codes 2 and 34. Also has that damn ticking noise that you described in the video I watched today. I’m hoping it’s just that one valve that was damaged. But I’m ready (almost ready) to buy those upgraded parts for my original motor. I’m a diesel tech but only been in the mechanic field for 6 years. And NEVER worked on a motorcycle at all.
You're comment on the cam chain tensioner is bonk. You obviously haven't tried doing anything with the tensioner when this video was made. Even with the tank out of the way no flat head is fitting into that top unless it's a micro flat head. Let alone fitting a wrench of any kind on those bottom 2 bolts.
My cam lobes aren’t straight up an down when measuring I’m doing as the manual says but the lobs aren’t straight up and down like I was told they should be

I own 2015...This information was excellent. Extremely thorough.
Thank you so much for this. A gold find on RUclips for anyone wanting to do a very needed maintenance on most any Sportbike.
Thanks!
everything is very well explained, methodic, carefull. Is very hard to find a video like this. Thumbs up man!
Such an amazing detailed video from a small channel. Great job man, thanks for taking the time. 🤟🔥
I have good while until I have to do my valves, but thank you so much for making this video/tutorial, keep it up bro!

buy a Haynes manual for the bike
very easy to follow along and super informative video my friend, about to do mine soon and this makes it seem less daunting of a task.
So nice you didn't have music in the back ground that sounds like what you would hear on commercials for women's underwear, like so many others do.
Great video. Im a fan now. Explained everything very well. And you are very educated in this. Thank you very much
godsend, thank you so much for making this!

You're right I'm just a guy trying to save some money lol.
Very well put together and organized.
Solid vid! You just earned a subscriber. Thank you so much for making this video! Mine's an 09 CBR600RR.
Awesome vid man insightful and concise 👌
Great video brotha!
Thank you so very much for this!!
You're very confident mechanic. Are you an Engineering student by any chance? Great video by the way!
Thanks! Electrical engineering.
👍👍👍👍👍👍excellent job 😊
Really nice video
On what km must I do my Sims and valve clearance Chek chain and tensioner
I believe it's every 16k miles.
I would have adjusted the ones on the tight side back to the loose side of the spec. Because you have a couple on the limit and now you’ll have to open it up in another 10k miles, I personally wouldn’t let it go 5k on the limit.

Makes sense, I'll have to do that next time!
3:20 Hey, where'd you find that $600 piece of lumber?
Haha I got lucky and found it at home Depot.
how long did this job take you start to finish?
@@the1king5 About a weekend maybe longer depending on if you need to buy parts/shims.
And always disconnect battery step 1

@@tilemahosberetis4417 Sounds like it could be a valve issue. That's where I would start at least. Sorry for the late reply.
WHERE DID YOU GET THOSE FRAME SLIDERS!?

AOQ, I don’t have that service manual, could you provide a pic from the manual covering this issue?

Hey there, Is the process the same for an '06 CBR600RR?
Sorry for the late response but it should be as far as the engine is concerned, but know that Honda did a massive update to the bike in '07.
You didn’t need a carb sync?
This bike is fuel injected, no carbs.
The clearance is same for 13+??
It should be, They still use the same engine to this day.
My cbr 2011 with 18000 miles has white smoke on exhaust
@@hr22ful Best case I would say old gas, worst case I would say it's burning oil which could mean bad piston rings.
@@aoq2857 thank you boss
thank youuuuuuuu
I love you
***no homo***
How many miles you have on that bike?
Sorry for the late response. It has about 23k.
23km or miles
Do you have a way of contact. E mail etc?
Sorry for the late response ahrenq1@yahoo.com
I had the air filter screw fall down into my throttle body. Didn’t know that’s where it went. Started my CBR and motor seized up. Broken valve 🤦🏽♂️
oooooo, that's rough... was it the valve stem that broke?

Yes A very small flathead is required.

@@ReallyWilly69 If they were straight up and down the can would be touching the follower...ie the valve would be open
