I finally decided I should check the valves on my bike. Almost two years of hard thrashing without doing it.

Anyone have an exploded view of where I am supposed to stick the feeler gauge? The little manual that came with the bike isn't to helpful. I can't get the **** to go in there like it should(I think).

 

should be very tight to get in, try using the side of the feeler. if you need a manual, pm me and ill hook u up

 

try this, when its put together, should go at the end of the tappet adjuster, no 11

 

fukt up, here ya go

 

**** id rather pay 30 buks for the shop to do it lol ill *** it up

do you think its gonna run better if i do this havent done it in a year

 

that was a little unclear to me on the exploded view, and i know how to do it. i added a simple drawing for us simple minds hope it makes it easier to understand

 

thats only pic i could find, you just bust out photoshop or what?

 

yeah sorta ...heheheheh

 

Crap, that is where I was trying. Them suckers are tight. I need to get at them this week then. Thanks.

 

they should be kinda tight but you should be able to wiggle them with your hands
.002 is where they should be set thats kinda tight
and make sure you have it on the compression stroke or they will be really freakin tight.

 

Yup. I could wiggle them but just couldn't get the feeler guage in there. Huge 50 party at my house this weekend. Someone will know how to do them.

 

you already know how, just getrdone

 

at the peak of the compression stroke?

 

TDC compression

 

THANKS FAB!!!








sorry but i don't know what TDC means.....

Top Dead Center?

 

yea, TDC = Top Dead Center .....seems since my BBK, no matter how many times i set them, i still get em tickin when it's warm ...argggggggggggg

 

pretty normal glen, especially with a skid plate. they really amplify the sound

 

same here, chatter chatter..

 

nice, if the ticking is normal i'll just keep beatin er....i know the valves are set right, i always am listening for noises it seeems though...i need to get a skidplate before somethin bad happens to ma lil motor

 

oldschool guys like me always ran the exhaust loose, for reasons i wont delve into now , so mine always tick. everyone says you need to adjust your valves they re loose ,i just smile and say i know, i set em that way.
