    Checking and adjusting the valves on your quad is a part of regular maintenance but tearing into the engine on your YFZ450 can seem like a task that's too big or scary to tackle in your home garage. But with the right know-how and a little confidence, this job can be knocked out in a few hours and save you a lot of time and money down the road. In this video, Charles shows the proper steps to check valve clearances and adjust the valves on a 2014 Yamaha YFZ450R but the steps shown in this video will be very similar for all 2004+ YFZ450 models.

    Hey, awesome video! I'm planning to do my valve shims and timing chain but I'm confused where do we match the dots on the cam shaft too? and how do I know if I set the chain properly?

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  5 месяцев назад

      The marks on the cam shafts will line up with the top of the cylinder head (shown at 4:00 in this video). When putting the chain back on, you need to have the timing mark on the flywheel cover aligned as well as both cams (shown at 12:44 in this video).

    What did you use to hold the new valve cover gasket in place on the valve cover? Everytime I go to put it on the bike the gasket falls off the valve cover. Its a new gasket and new valve cover.

    Hello I took a few weeks ago to adjust my valves but uncover to change rings my question is if I change the valve seals do I have to re-adjust or are they still adjusted
    I just want to change seals to be a little calmer the valves are in good condition

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  3 года назад +1

      As long as the valves are wearing evenly and you keep every part in it's same location, then it shouldn't need to be readjusted after changing stem seals. I would check them with the cylinder head still off the engine to be sure. That way you know if something is wrong or if you did need to make adjustments. - Wes

    • @rmatvmc
      @rmatvmc  Год назад +1

      Valves are a good thing to check regularly but it doesn't sound like this is your issue. You could check your spark plug to make sure you're not running too lean which would cause the quad to run hot but it's normal for YFZs to have a red hot exhaust, especially when just idling.

    You put the equation out wrong making it look complicated to the idiots in the comment section.
    You should have wrote out the literal equation A=(b-c)+D
    Then explained what each variable stood for.
    Now all your comments are saying dumb shit and no one learned anything. Good job tho
