HOW TO ADJUST THE VALVES ON A HONDA RANCHER / FOREMAN ATV 

I appreciate that!

Aww man thank u that means alot

THANK YOU SO MUCH MAN!! YOU CAN ALWAYS SHINE A FLASHLIGHT IN THE CYLINDER TO CHECK FOR TDC AND LOOK AT YOUR TIMING MARKS BUT YES BOTH ROCKERS SHOULD BE ''LOOSE'' THANKS FOR WATCHING!!

I use to have a king quad 300!! That was my first atv! I ragged that thing out and had some good times on it, when u put it in super low diff lock it would pull the gates of hell down hahah

@@TheHomePros6221 you sure can! I wish I had one of those in good shape but with a 600cc engine or similar.

Yea that would be awesome I’ve been looking for a nice one

yes they are

Glad you enjoyed it

yea they can be tough but got lots of power

Yep

maybe

it’s recommended in the manual at 250 miles to do the first valve adjustment which I’m doing here, after that u can go many miles without doing another. I have another rancher with 9,000 miles and I’ve only done two valve adjustments on it. these are great engines!

I know rite!!

about an hour

Thanks I'm going to try this afternoon

👍

I'll make sure I go.. I mean someone's gotta tow the canned ham home when it breaks hahaha jk man good to hear from ya

My rancher will eat your can am alive 😂

If you want a hard working bike that will last forever with basic maintenance go Honda! If you want a high horse power mud slinging belt burn power house go with can-am

I ment .006 inches watch my 300 vid I say inches and trust me I haven’t messed any threads up I’ve been working on atvs my whole life and never stripped a thread I’m very easy with a impact it sounds like it’s torquing them more on camera but I assure you it’s not, it’s all about throttle control with a impact and most of the time I only use a impact to get the bolts started and use a torque wrench after which I don’t put on camera to save time. Check out my videos on fixing the fourtrax 300 with engine problems

Perhaps you have a better video of doing it?

I’m a motorcycle tech and I understand where he is coming from about the impact, remember you may have been doing this for a while but you are teaching people how to do this!!! Show them how to do it the best way with out error, impacts as you know in inexperienced hands can ruin threads very easy! Especially in aluminum!!!

Haha maybe it sounds like it in the video but it doesn't anymore

Thanks!
