Taking me a while to do mine but this one’s probably the most informative video I found thanks!

[@monochrome5.0]

It was a struggle, but I definitely got the hang of it now. So much easier then it seems Thank you

@@monochrome5.0 also the video you linked in the description is "not available".. says it is "set to private"

[@monochrome5.0]

Yeah I guess the guy took it off his public feed

Love this, never seen it before and I'm thankful for the lesson / guide. Really good.

[@monochrome5.0]

Omar Rainford thank you brother

The zip tie trick is genius. I ended up marking my cams and chain so I knew where to put it back (ensuring TDC alignment) but next time I do valves I’m going to do zip ties because that looked a hell of a lot easier to reassemble (and without fear or dropping the chain).

[@monochrome5.0]

Exactly. I could do valves all day With that method

[@alkhatibziad723]

@@monochrome5.0 Hell yes, not wrestling with that chain alignment and proper seating (and being paranoid I would break my engine if it wasn’t perfect) for 1+ hr would make my day muchhhhh better

[@mantasjasudis6129]

Thanks for doing this great video mate. Learn a lot.

[@vozanderson8665]

Thanks for the guidance it helped alot

[@monochrome5.0]

It’s so much easier after the first go around. Glad my terrible walk through could help.

[@marlattmotos]

Diving into my 23', only 5k on the clock but 3500 of that is redline😂 hoping the rattle is my valves and not the bottom end😅😂

[@monochrome5.0]

Oh shit 🤣. I mean the Kawi’s are known for being noisy

[@marlattmotos]

@@monochrome5.0 this is true, but better safe than sorry😂

[@stevenbuteaux]

If you don’t mind telling me. What torque wrench did you use? I’m looking at buying one to do this service

[@monochrome5.0]

I used a snap on branded wrench but I’ve done plenty with the a harbor freight version as well with success but if you want as of lately I’ve been buying wera tools and can definitely recommend them

[@jimmy_chien]

useful guide, thanks!

[@aaronflores1262]

Did you leave the can chain tensioner on? And if you did, it didn’t cause any problems?

[@monochrome5.0]

No you have to take it out 2 bolts and it’s out. 12:33 on the video is when I added a note about that 🤙🏽 get after and good luck… it’s pretty easy.

[@aaronflores1262]

@@monochrome5.0 thanks dude! I’ve already got the cam cover accessed, just waiting on feeler gauges, spark plugs and air filter 👍

[@monochrome5.0]

@aaronflores1262 tbh I think that dam cover was the most difficult part. If you run into any issues or questions that my half ass video doesn’t answer just shoot another comment. And I’ll try to assist

[@aaronflores1262]

@@monochrome5.0another question, because I just so happen to be at 19k miles as well, almost 20k. Was your valve cover gasket still in good shape and reusable?

[@monochrome5.0]

@aaronflores1262 yes I reused it and amd rode it for another 6k still no leaks even when I sold it at 25k miles

[@chancedejno9639]

What valve shim kit did you get I have 2013 that I’m doing it

[@monochrome5.0]

Hot cams kit off of Amazon

[@miguelvaldes2961]

I have 15k on my 2021 636 when should I service it ? I’ve heard 20k-30k ? Anyone knows the proper number?

[@monochrome5.0]

States to get the valves at least checked at 15k but you could always ride it out till 20-25k

[@delos.23]

How can I get access to the service manual?

[@monochrome5.0]

Type in your email I’ll send the link over. it’s the same for 2013-2022.

[@vincentlui819]

You forgot to install yellow chain guard 20:07

[@monochrome5.0]

Rewatch it, that was after measuring… I was already taking the cams back out to change shim size some more

[@_ebj_]

Hey dude where did you get you shims ?

[@monochrome5.0]

I just orderd some off Amazon, hotcams is the brand of shim kit
