Why checking Valve Clearance is VERY IMPORTANT !!!! 

same, said its not an issue unless its clicking, thoughts on this??

​@yungmayanprinceymp6113 get a owners manuel and do the maintenance intervals. If your a novice rider, trail rider then double motor maintenance interval times-piston, valve checks, barrings. If you race then stick to intervals. Always change oil and clean air filters on time

@@yungmayanprinceymp6113 yep, it usually doesnt need adjustment if everything sounds and works as it should... also it depends on engine design, probably not the same in engines that rev at 10000 compared with those that hardly ever go over 4000 and so on... that said, it is hard to notice gradual change in engines i just had an idea to record my engine sound now when it's new-ish, so i could compare it once i hit valve changing interval... i'll do that in the morning...

Thanks man glad this helped

Glad u found it useful

@Ameer Nikolas ha! Nice one

What he means is if the shim size required to maintain the correct clearance shrinks or enlarges........

And what happens when an exhaust valve opens earlier and shuts up later? Hot exhaust fumes will burn the valve. Deformation occurs.

Doing it doesn't matter whether is 4 stroke or 2 stroke both engines have valves or wouldn't be able to intake air to burn the fuel and then release the exhaust

Peter Deimler lol 4 strokes valves and 2 stroke reed valves do the same thing but is different from one another just saying. The maintenance isn’t the same for both 2 stroke and 4 stroke valves. 😂

itzKert Music apparently you can't read, no shit A Reed valve is different from a normal valve that's fuckin obvious furthermore the objective of the valve is the same to intake air and Fuel and outtake fuckin by-product which just so happens to be carbon dioxide or exhaust.

Peter Deimler lol ur not getting what I’m saying🙄 4 strokes valves you half to check ur timing chain marker regularly to see if its correctly place in the right spot for valve clearance to prevent damage in the internal engine combustion chamber. Other than the reed valve.😂

Glad it helped man

Glad I was able to fins somebody that appreciates my work

Same to you!

Thanks

Awesome bike man..

michael adams no they dont valve adjustments are common and using rockers to adjust.

Randall Highsmith Do you see rocker arms anywhere in the video? A push rod? So no, it’s not common on this type of engine, because they don’t have any.

Cam directly on the valve can have screw adjusters even today. For example Honda Transalp 700 got them.

Thabksb

Just tear it apart without thinking like I did

@@02aerio13 lmfao, is it running now tho?

Yeah , man , easy and worth doing ..

You are welcome

You are welcome.

Yeah Tru, I realized after I made the video I express myself wrong.. Can't take it back now.. It's like a bullet

It doesn't really matter. If this gets people to check and adjust their valves, than that is what is really important. Again, I really like your channel, and I am excited you got a new bike.

Yeah, rattling is usually caused but the tensioner, it's about to pop..

@@vegasromaniac what should I do in this case? Replace the tensioner or tighten it?

@@godwinikape8888 ide replace it better bro

@@godwinikape8888 I just bought a moded r6 and brought it to work and a coworker who has a lot more bike specially with the r6s, told me my idle sounds like the tensioner is about to pop too, he said best to replace it

@@godwinikape8888 In many cases there are models using oil pressure to tight the chain and there are also mechanical models available. Oil pressure ones rattle for two seconds after start up even when they are ok.

Thanks

Jorge_ Motorsports beauty of your valve mess up it won't destroy your entire engine grenade the bellhousing if that happens you'll have to replace the bellhousing the piston and maybe the cylinder if it's got any dings or anything in it but your bottom it should still be great

Awesome.. Yeah you can do everything yourself...

, thanks for watching yes I'm Romanian but I live in Vegas

haha thanks

I think it’s just wear over time. If the gap is shrinking from the valves setting in the head more that’s wear. Same if the valve stem mushrooms and the gap is growing. I guess it could be from excessive wear like too hot or oil not lubing valve stem top properly but I think it mainly happens from high hours on engine. Not a pro so might be wrong here

Rafael Mendoza that could mean you have a bad gasket and oil is leaking into the cylinder

That is always a good idea

@@vegasromaniac i have 0,10 mm in all intake valves and it should be 0,20 its weird

@@andreuserna if the gap is under, that valve will stay open when hot so the bike will start hard

@@vegasromaniac I lose power over 6000 7000 rpm and it can work until 15.000 rpm i think the valves don't close properly when im on high rpm

I'm currently about to roughly the same thing. I have a 05 kawasaki ninja 636, I'm a bit late on doing my first valve clearance check (26,000 miles). I'm not riding the bike anymore till I get all this process done..and it's a bit over welming lol. After my research I had about the same questions about shims and where and how to get them, you don't know what you need till you have the top end half way tore down. I seen online they have shim kits with multiple different sizes included, I'm planning on just ordering one of those kits("HotCams")about 63$, also a micrometer, a set of bent feeler gauges, and a new valve cover gasket. Then I should be good, I'm still going to be researching and reading for weeks more lol, that just my ocd. But as far as you saying just get new valves, that would mean taking off the entire head and a trip to a machine shop, more time, parts and money. The shims are cheap and most sport bikes use the same size shims and design for many years so there abundant and common, even other small engines use the same shims(I'm talking circumference not thickness) The hotcams kit should cover anything you might need and then you can even order them individually if needed.

New valves probably won’t give you the proper clearance. If you really want to do it yourself, get a shim kit. Probably cheaper than a new set of valves, or paying a shop to do it. Also get a micrometer and learn how to use it.

Glad you liked it

Mine did and idk why

@@verriahowe4334 probably your cam timing tensioner jumped causing everything to be unsync.

I hope it don't happen again I got alot of money into it and about to put alot more into it lol

Once you do it, it's easy, or pay somebody to do it but than you gonn spay a lot

Had to find shims smaller than 130, that's a worn valve , you gonna need to replace it

That's the hole engine been dragged by the wheel. It's not a big deal, to hear some piston/ring slap and chain clatter. Even the valve train might complain about that, with small wear in between..

moe green that's funny because you could check and gauge your shins and if there anything then the original thickness and they've shrunk and I've seen this happen so you're wrong

Peter Deimler you are incorrect the shim does not shrink I am a mechanic the valve and the valve seat is what wears

What are you some kind of backyard mechanic is a mechanic to him and I rebuild these m************ and I've literally telling you that I've watched it happen and check it you can gauge it there is a tool for that buddy

If you want to get technical it's not shrinkage but it being mashed flat so same shit

Hes right. Its the seat that wears.

My experience confirms what you said. I am doing the first valve clearance adjustment on my Kawasaki Ninja 500 after 22750 miles (I am supposed to do it every 7400 miles). The intake valves are all in spec, but all four of the exhaust valves have a clearance that is too small. The spark plugs look OK, but there appeared to be carbon deposits in the well around the spark plugs. The engine starts and runs OK even in freezing weather, but the left side of the exhaust system gets hotter than the right side.

@@ninjarider2941 from your experience the valve stem stretches ??? Lol oookay there bud. It's the valve recessing into the valve seat as the seat wears
