My dealer said don't bother with it till 2000 miles and said doing my own service wont void the warranty. I have always done that stuff myself. Great job on the video's you have turned into a professional.

[@larryisaacs4075]

Damn Red Neck, you are talking like a real professional. The videos are looking very crisp, you are doing a great job. Good Luck and may GOD bless.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Thank you 🙏

[@opie7afe]

Perfect timing, was going to do mine at 500+ miles..yeah i really dont want to take 75% of the plastics off so i think ill wait a bit and just do the diff fluids.

[@Saskatchewan1984]

Lol me being a tech myself for different brand , my dealer for cf moto told me they had to do the valve adjustment for warranty and I said bs , but I played along took it , little did they know I covered the bolts with heat tape , when they were done I inspected , and my tape was still there , needles to say I got a free service and valve adjustment out of it when I was done with the service manager lol

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Allot of crooks out there my friend. Makes you wonder how many people have been taken by these crooks.

[@nickridesbikes.]

Let's just hope they did the valve adjustment correctly after getting busted 😅

[@bullionbouncer5080]

They said the same, that my warranty would be voided if the valve adjustment wasn't documented, and I wasn't paying almost $800 for the valve adjustment/check they wants over $1k for the fluids and the valve check. Eff that. Warranty voided and traded the machine.

[@bigjay6743]

I've checked valves 2 times since 2021 once on 20 hours 320km and again at 1350km been on the money both times. We have 5 year warranty here in Canada so probably void said warranty since I did it myself but did video doing it gust incase. Dealer really tried ripping me off when buying it almost walked away but sold both my other wheelers that morning to help pay for new bike and needed it for trip the next day. Been a good machine only problems I've had have been Reverse lights have never worked And winch solenoid just failed not long ago.

[@andrewparis8741]

​@@bigjay6743Did it void your warranty? I was told you could do it yourself as long as it was documented. I'm also in Canada. Is the valve adjustment on a uforce XL easy to do with the engine in the machine? This video is great but the engine is out of the machine. I am at 20 hrs now and this is supposed to be done.

[@dustytrailswithepa]

Great Video . I know what you mean , I had to adjust my 2021 at 200 miles , slightly out of spec. My Daughters 2022 we just going to change the fluids it sounds & runs Great so it don’t need all that. Keep up the good videos

[@FANATICALSIDERIDER]

Awesome video Steve, you explained it so clear and easy. Thanks for the tutorial 🛻😊

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Your very welcome 🙏 thank you 😊

[@OpenAirAdventure]

I did mine early. They were fine. Might do them again sometime. Right now it sounds great, starts great and works great. Almost 2000 miles.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Good to hear for sure.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

I checked my own at 200 miles. They were set perfect. No need to adjust. I’ve got slightly over 1500 miles now and it runs perfect. If I notice it run differently or hear some clattering I’ll definitely go in and check everything out and adjust if necessary.

[@Gokywildcats11]

Thanks for your honesty

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Your welcome 🙏

[@timleinart1645]

GREAT VID! Even an average non- shade tree mechanic like myself can do this! ( Just have to get through the plastic jungle and breaking tabs thing ). High quality presentation Steve! Thank you!🙌

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Your very welcome 🙏 that’s why we do what we do to help you guys save $$$$$

[@Figuereditout]

Finally some truth here. Great info!

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Thank you 🙏

[@jeffreyseverson1623]

Thanks for this one. I just bought mine new, but will never go back to my local dealer. This was the one break in item, that I wasn't sure about doing myself.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Your very welcome 🙏

[@drdaledobek9882]

My 800xc had been adjusted twice both times they said a couple valves where tight...first time at 300 km second at 2500 km . Being told to baby it at break in with amsoil in it will produce a slow break in period I believe.

[@patricklambert5810]

Good stuff!🎉

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Thank you 🙏

[@eminimdood]

Where are you from my friend. I havent purchased a cf moto z force yet but i enjoy your honesty every single video.

[@Regularguy5]

On the measurements…. Did you mean exhaust between .006mm and .011 and .009mm? All I can find is .006-.009 and nothing for .09 or .06mm. Thanks for the video. It helps a lot!

[@gleedsiii]

love the videos, keep up the good work. Now you need to start hooking guys up with some tunner info cause those dudes down in Mississippi selling tunes are a Joke.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Stay tuned. We will. I agree with you 💯 them clowns only want your money. We catch them in marketing lies all the time.

[@43dukedog]

My dealer said they don’t do it at break in he said if it ain’t broke don’t try to fix it might make it worse

[@joedemaio8493]

Red. I just took my cover off. Maybe a silly ? But. The machine have to b in park? I have it in neutral. So the line is on the top an I can't even get a gauge to slide in there. Friggin awful. Glad I checked it

[@bunasir394]

Hi friend I want to ask that mine 1000 Zforce I see one slender head (front side) exhaust pipe it’s glow red but the other slender exhaust it’s fine no red so do I need valve adjustment or there something other reason I really no idea could you help me I appreciate you thanks

[@FOGELL_TheGreat]

To bar over the engine do you just take that round side cover off on the passenger side ?

[@bigjay6743]

I've checked the valves 2 times since 2021And both times they've been dead on.

[@AaronMT09]

thanks for the video!! my dealer wants to charge 250 to do this on my papio. Do you know what the papio is to be set at?

[@R.N.GPerformance]

I don’t my friend I’m sorry. Your welcome 🙏

[@gillesbrassard7826]

I can find the feeler gauge .08mm no problem but the .113 i cant find. You have the .127mm that = to .004 of an inch but .113mm = to .0044 of an inch.

[@gamepassgamer3755]

Just curious what is your opinion on warmup time? I usuallu wait for the temp light to get a notch before i move

[@R.N.GPerformance]

15-20 mins

[@gamepassgamer3755]

@@R.N.GPerformance gotcha! Thanks for answering 🤟

[@peterstarch8672]

Would the clearances for my 2015 800 ex be the same as those mentioned in your video? Im struggling to find anything specific. Thanks in advance.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

If memory serves me correctly yes.

[@mrwhamisrick]

Anything that needs valve adjustments at those intervals had a design problem.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

I agree 💯 💯

[@bigjay6743]

Exactly they don't.

[@curt8928]

on my cforce 500 and zforce 800 trail can this be done with the engine in the machine? never done this before on anything new to it

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Yeah

[@mikes2607]

So which video should I go by? You have another video showing to turn the engine until one side is completely compressed and the other side completely relaxed. If I line the mark up with the head, I can’t get a feeler under any of them.

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Either one. You just want to make sure the lifter is in the back side of the cam.

[@joedemaio8493]

Red. I have a 2022 950 ho sport. Taking the cargo rack off is kicking my butt. Lol. Is there hidden screws under it??

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Last one I worked on I said hell with it. It was such a pain 😂

[@joedemaio8493]

An I'm pretty handy. Idk. Anyways. How's the turbo coming along in the uforce?? Well I hope u r getting a kit together to sell. I'm in 100%

[@bullionbouncer5080]

I believe there is something like 10 or 12 Allen heads that are keeping the rack on the mounts, then it's a pain in the ass to get the 100k clips out and keep track of them all.

[@michaelmessin5307]

Does the engine need to be removed?

[@R.N.GPerformance]

No

[@Gokywildcats11]

Cam u do this with motor on equipment

[@R.N.GPerformance]

Yes

[@aaroncolefilms8493]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I appreciate your knowledge especially when I don’t want to take my machine back to the dealer that’s 2.5 hours away. Feeling 100% confident to do this service myself now.

[@billymartin1874]

I need a promo code! Hook a new customer up dawg!

[@R.N.GPerformance]

No promo codes right now. This is our busiest time of year we can’t keep up as it is. If we put promo codes out we will be so far behind 😂. That and we already have the absolute best prices.
