Thanks for the detailed video, most people are too lazy to do this.

Just done with my valve check. I managed to get the valve cover off without unscrewing the throtle bodies. You Just need to unscrew the botom screw holding the throtle lines in place in front od the throtle bodies. Then you can rotate it to the top and have space for the valve cover. Saves a lot of Time.

So what step do i skip can you time stamp it

@JaroRydz 4 года назад

@@mickymalvoy1692 i skipped all the things from 4:32 to 6:00. It was winter and the rubber was cold and they didn't want to come off. I left the entire thing in place and " You Just need to unscrew the bottom screw holding the throttle lines in place in front of the throttle bodies.

Stumbled upon this vid because i trying to change my cct without disturbing the throttle bodies (which is next to impossible btw) so thank you for the vid . Those screw heads are JIS , not Philip's. Cheers buddy.

How many miles did your bike have when you checked the clearances in this video?

@Tyxkillxlan07 3 года назад

Can you show me a picture of how the coolant hoses are routed from the thermostat housing?

How do you know the index line is exactly at 12 o'clock? (If there isn't 2 marks that line up) Or is it approximate.

@thomaslindberg7777 2 года назад

Thanks for the video! One question: Why loosen the tensioner before measuring the clearance?

@bryanalexander82 2 года назад

If I remember correctly, it is stated in the shop manual to do so.

@thomaslindberg7777 2 года назад

@@bryanalexander82 Okay, thanks for the reply, I´ll have a closer look in my shop manual..

Why do you have to loosen the cam chain tensioner?

Will this be similar for a hornet 600? Need to fit restrictor on top of the carbs can't find nothing all about it online

@ttttrigg3r 7 лет назад

Hi Bryan, I'm preparing to do this now. Did you have to drain the coolant to take off the throttle bodies? The manual calls for it. Also, did you feel you had enough clearance just by propping up the tank? The manual also calls for removing the tank as well.

@bryanalexander82 7 лет назад

I never drained the coolant when removing the throttle bodies and haven't had a problem or understand why its called for. Maybe someone else smarter could explain why. As for totalling removing the gas tank, its not necessary. Obviously removing it will give you more access but propping it up with a bungie cord provides more than enough room. The hardest part is going to be gaining access to the side next to the radiator because its quite tight.

@ttttrigg3r 7 лет назад

It looks like you didn't completely remove the throttle body, is that correct? You just unseated it and kind of slide it an inch out of the way and covered it up.

@bryanalexander82 7 лет назад

Yup. By all means you can remove them if you want but I didn't see the point in going to all that effort if I didn't have to. They didn't really get in the way at all.

@radrcer 7 лет назад

Thanks for vid. Are you sure you need to release tensioner? Im pretty sure thats only required if you are going to change shims/ remove cam.

@bryanalexander82 7 лет назад

This is what is stated in the shop manual for checking the valve clearance. I don't really understand why and it doesn't seem necessary after doing it. But people smarter and more experienced than I wrote the thing so I just did what it says

@DavidMinkCCCMD 6 лет назад

I tried measuring mine without the tensioner, then with the tensioner. My clearances were all pretty far off with the tensioner.

nice video! just need remove throttle body for change Thermostat, later try with hair dryer . accidetally i unplugg the little tubes from injectors i go to watch other vid to connect all tubes of throttle body =)

@aznskrachmaztah 7 лет назад

my f4i has a hair over 30,000 miles, dont think my valves have been adjusted. How do I know if I need the valves adjusted?

@bryanalexander82 7 лет назад

I did mine after 50,000 km's (30,000 miles) and I only waited that long because I bought the bike at 43,000 km's. The manual states you should check after 25,000 km's (15,000 miles). I'm not an expert but my clearances were too tight and it sounded very rough idling so that led me to check. If the valve clearances are to loose then you would hear a clicking/clacking.

@aznskrachmaztah 7 лет назад

Appreciate the quick response. It does have a rough idle and smells sort of lean out the exhaust. I think it needs adjustment

@DMoots 5 лет назад

I hate working on this bike. Everything is in your way when you're trying to undo things etc. It's like Honda didn't give any thought to how the bike would be worked on at all.

@4everkale 5 лет назад

I will dislike this because you did not show how to actually measure the intake and exhaust, you thrown a couple of pictures and got done with it.... I'm saying this because i have big hands and i'm afraid that when i get to the point of measuring, i can't do it
