I appreciate your video. It's the first time doing valves. You kept short but very informative

My rocker is stuck open. I pushed it over and now it won't go back. How do you close it?

0:41 A most excellent valve spring drawing!

FANTASTIC VIDEO! I'm looking at a Metro and this is very helpful. TYVM!

Easy to disconnect the fuel tank and then those valve cover bolts are easier to get to

Very helpful - thank you.

Hey man. You still around? I got a question. I’ve had to lower the shim size on the exhaust side like yours, 4 times this year. Why is this happening?

Great video well done thank you! Question: My plug is fouling and I’ve adjusted the carb don’t think it to rich. Also did a compression test. and I get 140psi then added a little oil and got 190psi. I first assumed rings were bad but I haven’t checked valve lash. I will but wondering if improper valve lash could cause this compression variation or since adding oil to better seal the rings mean for sure the rings are bad Irrespective of valve lash?

My 20-year-old Ruckus was running poorly and was so challenging to start, if I could even get it started. Watched your 2 related videos twice and went out and adjusted the intake valve (which had zero lash) by doing the math, then checking the clearance as you perfectly laid out, the exhaust valve clearance was good. The moment of truth came and it started instantly! I've been starting it all day with a 1/2 second touch of the starter button. It now runs great too. Many thanks for your help!

Thank you for the video. Just did the same To my 09

Excellent !!! No one shows the math !

*My '08 'Metro' starts and runs flawlessly at 13,800-miles* _________ *Should I check the valves?* ( *I may as well order the shim-kit in advance of any take-down and yet the engine runs perfect and will haul my 230lb. fat-ass at 42-mph with only minor performance parts & 14-inch windscreen to create 'smoother air-flow' at 'WOT' speeds* ) __________ *I've owned and ridden this machine for 65-months and it still starts instantly and idles perfect and I use only the highest octane I can get...usually 92-93, plus a spoonful of 'Octane Booster' on a full tank and full-synthetic 10-40 engine oil* *I have yet to ever see anything in the 'crankcase breather tube'*

Excellent video! You are the man!

Now I wish I had my Metro back instead of this Yamaha C3.... valve adjust is a major under taking on this scooter.... 😢

Thanks for making an awesome video. Bought a metro that wasn't running and tried all the basic things first. Someone said valve lash and I had never done it before. Found this video and made it super easy. Thanks!!!

Wow, thank you sir. I was going crazy trying to figure out why my metro was so hard to start. Cleaned the carb multiple times, changed the bystarter and same issue. Had a feeling it was the valves, watched your videos and was certain. Went to my metro checked the lash and bam an hour later after doing the shims, it starts first kick now.

Excellent video tutorial.

I have no clearance on the intake and its a 2020 with 200 miles, not even .002 of an inch, how could this have happened? I don't think I have a feeler small enough to get between the rocker and the shim, its top dead center as verified by pulling spark plug and touching screw driver to piston through the hole, I guess I am ordering the kit but something seems off here. My shim says 2.02 on the intake and a 1.98 on the exhaust. Couldn't get any clearance on the intake and the exhaust I forced a .005 feeler in there, ordering shim kit.

What causes the gap to tighten/ close? I just replaced my shims on a Honda Ruckus a 6 weeks ago and they are tight again. What happens when the gap gets so small that there aren't small enough shims left? Thanks for your time.

Great vids, have to adjust my valves so I’ll def be watching again. Odd question but is there no gasket on the valve cover head?

I wanna thank you for your video. Because of what I learned im able to drive my metro again after years of issues and replacing parts with no fix in sight.

Weirdest shit ever. I'm falling asleep watching this and this guy slams a java monster down on the table @ 2:00 and literally wakes me up. What a coincidink

Do you do the same process for exhaust Val

good video, now i dont feel so nervous. far more simple than i imagined, im used to the chinese valves. thanks

Can you do a video on cn250 honda helix type motor for valve adjustment? There is 0 videos on how to do this

Great job of explaining things. Thanks for the video

hahahaha love it, can only imagine getting my ruck sideways peelin like that 🤘

Good video, thanks.

Hot Cams HCSHIM01 7.48mm O.D. Shim Kit

salve anchio ho un problema ogni tanto rimane inserito antifurto e non parte si puo escludere del tutto'?

So how can you tell if the cam is aligned. It that bike it was just wondering if you had a link or anything. Having a hard time finding anything and I am def not a mechanic.

Do you solve the problem? How ?

where did you get the shim kit?

Wow thats shetty quality

Thank you for the video. What I did was take the shim out and taped a piece of 800 grit sandpaper to a piece of glass and sanded it down instead of buying a entire shim kit. worked perfectly and I measured it to .004 It took about 20 minutes of sanding and re-measuring.

Yeah that's really bad wtf how did that pass qc. Do they even have qc?

How often do you need to to a valve adjustment on a honda ruckus? I had mine proffessionally done by certified honda technicians at 700 miles, 1500 miles, 4,200 miles, and yet again at 5,000 miles. They keep getting tight. Why is that?

Excellent video set!

It's the annoying never-ending work on Honda Ruckus! I Snowbird from Northern New Mexico to California sea level every year so every time I leave high elevation & come down to sea level I have to adjust everything, constantly adjusting,what a pain in the ass, that's why I went to a fuel-injected 125cc Yamaha Zuma! The Ruckus looks cool but it's a pain in the frickin ass! I mean this is a Honda & it's a time consuming piece of shyt!!!

Definetley deserve more views and likes. I'm about to remove the head of a Honda Dio (same engine). As I'm putting it back on, should I look for the marks on the timing you just shown, ot there are other ones?

Koso all day

thx dude

dang you are good!!!! thanks for your time and video. !

Where did u get that head and what bore it fits on. ?

Hi where did you get the service manual from? i need to do my crankshaft bearings so need to get some specs and info on service procedure. thank you
