Regularly inspecting and adjusting valves is a part of normal maintenance to ensure that your motorcycle stays running for years to come. Opening up the engine may seem like a daunting task but with the right know-how, this job can be done in no time. In this video, Charles shows how to properly check and adjust the valves on 2008-2016 KTM 690 Enduro or Enduro R and Husqvarna 701 motorcycles.

Very good video. I would only add a recommendation to stuff a clean rag in the cam chain tunnel as soon as the valve cover comes off. This will keep any dropped part from ending up in the engine. May not seem necessary, until you actually drop something...

Great video, I'm looking into this type of content for pre knowledge. I bought a new 22 model 701 and expect delivery in two days.😃 This guy reminds me of my dad, he was always as thorough as this during engineering maintenance 👌

@matteckstrom1831 Год назад

I like your formula, I need to remember that one for next time.

@brucekendall52 3 года назад

Excellent explaination.Hopefully the new 690's valves issues have been sorted.Thks JHB-SA.

Great tutorial thank you.

@MdubFrederson 3 года назад

This is a great video. You guys should do an updated version for the newer 690/701 bikes. My 2019 701 is quite a bit different. There are 2 cam shafts on the newer bikes and You don't need to pull anything to remove/replace the intake shims. To hit TDC there is a mark on the intake cam and exhaust cam that get lined up with marks on the head. Interestingly, there is a "REF" line on the intake cam that is NOT TDC.... they marked the cam with a white dot for TDC, which is annoying. I just stopped in to see what the best way was to get the shims out of the valve and it looks like a mag retrieval tool is perfect.... which works out well because I need to buy one for a screw I dropped down behind the starter F$%$#$%^^&&

Are you going to do one of these for the newer generation 690/701 engine with the dual counter balancer?

No plans as of right now but it's always a possibility.

Anyone know if these steps are similar on the new 690 Enduro 2019+?

@carloslucero7460 Год назад

Sería bueno, colocar algo que impida el ingreso de pequeñas piezas, que se puedan caer por accidente dentro del alojamiento de la cadena de distribución, lo que causaría un gran inconveniente e incluso roturas indeseadas....

Hello, what nominal clearances should be at the inlet and outlet? Greetings from Russia!

@gufiaito69able Год назад

So this dors not apply to 2019 to 2022 correct?

@RobMatthews21 2 года назад

Thanks great video. When I removed the plastic cover to reveal the crankshaft bolt oil poured out, is that normal?

@richardsimpson3792 2 года назад

You'd normally drop the oil first, it's all part of the service.

@georgistehov6076 3 года назад

Thanks for the video. Do you measure the valve clearance with cam tensioner released or have to be tighten? I guess the hydraulic tensioner will be loose without oil pressure. When the manual cam tensioner is tight on my Duke 690 is giving me 0.02mm less reading for each valve, compared to when tensioner is loose. How much to tighten manual cam tensioner?

@scotttaggart 2 года назад

Should not matter as long as cam is at TDC. The chain's tension would not affect where the cam is at that point.

@hanzo52 2 года назад

Did you measure this at TDC?

@zrig1 3 года назад

2019 and up do not have the same style valve train. Only one rocker to operate the exhaust valves and there is no longer rollers. If you need to adjust intake valves there is a small shaft under the cam with a red plastic tab on it. Just checked mine today. Otherwise, this video got me 90% of the way through a check. Would be nice if Rocky Mountain would do a 2019 and up video. I have no talent in that department.

@johnDukemaster 2 года назад

Mine is a -17 model and has the same camshaft figuration as yours. And my son has a -16 and that's the same aswell. Maybe the -16 was the first with the extra balance shaft?

@@johnDukemaster The video covers 08-2018 models. I can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, the valve trains are different on the 2019 and up models.

@aaronwilcox6417 3 года назад

Just bought a 2021 690enduro. I'd love to do my own maintenance but the truth is I'm not a mechanic or technician and this seems like it would be a monumental PITA. If I tore into mine I'd never get it back together. I enjoy the video a lot but it's above my ability.

@MOAB-UT 2 года назад

You might surprise yourself with how capable you can be. Just take your time- double check everything and ask for help if you get stuck. With all the videos out there today, it's not hard to get some decent instruction. What you call a PITA, many call relaxing!

@modusoperandi23 Год назад

what happens if you forget to remove the spark plug before turning the fly wheel? I did that by accident and now it doesn't turn.

@rmatvmc Год назад

You should be able to take a spark plug out and the engine will turn over again.

@lawrence7065 4 месяца назад

That formula explanation was a little vague.

@Tinkey1993 2 года назад

Just add or subtract the amount you’re out of spec from the original shim. That formula is probably confusing tf out of people.

@TheDeerhunter42 2 года назад

mine is waiting on the parts and your right i was hoping for help on how to do the valve adjustment. so now im confused even more could you give an better way for us new guys thanks for any help, rick

@cossiedrifter 2 года назад

How can it be 0.00 clearance when it's worn? 🤯

@rmatvmc 2 года назад

Valve clearances will get tighter (smaller) as your valves wear. The face of the valve can start to wear out in turn shrinking the clearance between the shim and the cam lobe. - Wes

@cossiedrifter 2 года назад

@@rmatvmc Aaaah. Didn't think about that 😬 The shim and valve should have matching hardness 😅 To bad it doesn't have a lock nut and adjustment screw, would be a lot faster 🙃

@Speedytrip 10 месяцев назад

Damn that should be way easier for something that is required every 6000 miles….my dr650 is childs play compared to this…I was looking at the 701 enduro but this video made me reconsider. If it was every 15k miles would be fine, but Id have to do this twice a year…yikes.

@markstill8258 3 года назад

Why would you want to do the valve clearance every year if you didn't hit the 6000 mile mark? It's a mechanical part if it wasn't ran enough it wouldn't have wear.

@wilcovanpoelgeest4178 3 года назад

It's a KTM so you better check before it's to late.

Agree. Its a machanical as you say. And its not nessesary to do it once a year if you dont use the bike. My bike is 6 years old. And done 6000miles. Not har any problems yet. I wil open after 6213 miles. That is what the service book tells me. But thnx for the nice video.
