Straight to the point! Exactly the way a video should be. Good job 👍

Omg the rear valve cover is the most annoying thing in the world… I unscrewed the choke handle assembly and disconnected the coolant hose and another hose. Still was a complete pain… I’m sure getting it back on will be just as fun. They could have made that much easier for something they expect you to do every 6k miles…

I used a flathead driver that has magnet tip to put the shims in. Seemed to work best. If you drop shim in the dish. Don't worry. It's shallow n easy to retrieve.

Is there a ceal that needs to be replaced for the valve covers when doing this?

@WisconsinTroutFishing 5 ай бұрын

No, unless you bust them accidentally. They are very thick rubber gaskets on the head cover. Happy wrenching!

Eu comprei calço na maior medida e fiz uma ferramenta caseira para ajustar cada calço na medida de acordo o calibre de admissão e escape. Usei as seguintes medidas nas disponível nas lâminas do calibre, no caso 0,10 para as válvulas de admissão e 0,15 para as válvulas de descarga. Dê uma olhada no meu canal para ver a ferramenta que desenvolvi

It’s 6k miles but I think this is like racing or extreme conditions… they always put the absolute minimum a wear part would last under any conceivable conditions for the service manual. Heck they say change all your brake, throttle and clutch cables and lines every 2 years… aside from using it as a saltwater submarine I can’t imagine anyone’s actually doing that.

Can someone explain to me how does the too low clearence on valves affects the engine performance? And what is the difference whe you have too high clearence?

@Ozmandius 2 жыл бұрын

too low of clearance can lead to the valves staying open and letting hot combustion gasses by, which will lead to your head melting away. Too high of clearence can lead to excessive wear due to the speed of things being a sort of ramp up and ramp down thing, the bigger the gap the faster things are moving once they come into contact.

Only the first time is short. Afterward, there is very little wear so the service interval is longer

Just wanted to say thank you for the video. I just did mine today. Between your video and a thread on the Vulcan forums I found the process to be straight forward and not as bad as I thought it would be. The hardest part is that rear valve cover. It's like a Rubik's Cube to move it the right way to remove it but everything went back together much easier and faster.

@mickymondo7463 2 жыл бұрын

Always aim for the larger side of the clearance, so on this bike aim for 0.25mm EX and 0.15mm IN if you set the clearance to the minimum then it will go out very quickly, it is better to have a slightly larger clearance than tight, and as a rule clearances only tend to decrease as the valve reccesses into the seat, if the clearance increases over time then there is a serious wear issue somewhere along the line.

@WisconsinTroutFishing 5 ай бұрын

Having put more than 100K on 2 800 classics, the shims do not wear significantly. On all specified changes, i think I need 2 shim swaps pver all the miles. I used synth oil. Happy wrenching!

@lycogala1843 3 жыл бұрын

I'm afraid I am not familiar with that motorcycle. Although there will be similarities shared amongst all OHC V-twins, the process will not match exactly, and the specifications for the 400 will almost certainly be different. Should you attempt a valve adjustment, I predict that with a little knowledge you shouldn't have too much trouble.

Did the bike come from the factory that way and did it seam to be running right? If yes and yes I would have not done anything. Just me.

@lycogala1843 3 жыл бұрын

The bike did not come this way from the factory. The valve clearances would have been in spec. Valves open and close thousands of times per minute and slowly beat themselves further into their seats, tightening clearances. Some engines are more prone to this type of wear, the 800 being a good example. It's not uncommon to see relatively low mileage 800s with engine damage due to this. More modern valvetrain designs, including those which have been used in car and truck engines for a long time now, do not require adjustment.
