How To Adjust the Valves on a 2018+ Honda CRF250R/RX

[@jvohnbarlow9895]

Thanks for the video! I promise I won't try this at home 😂

[@brettbosley745]

I’m having an issue trying to get a reading on the clearances. I can’t get a feeler gauge of any size in anywhere. I feel like my bike is much different than the one in the video. I have a 24 crf250r and your feeler has to make over a 90 degree bend 3 inches down the case. How in the world am I supposed to measure that?

Did he not drain the oil from the motor before? I think it’s time for a valve adjustment on my 2020 CRF250RX! It’s at the point where it doesn’t want to start when cold. Pete’s cycle charges me a fortune every time I take my bike in for any repairs! And they have my bike for a month or longer which I can’t stand. This video along with my owner manual should make it possible for me to do it myself! Thank you Rocky Mountain for your videos and parts supply!

try to find a local shop that knows what theyre doing or try to get a little sponsor from a dealership so they kind of prioritize ur time lol

Very well done video. Thanks.

and this is exactly why i went back to 2 strokes

[@Tater4200]

It's easy man. The fun part comes when you drop a valve lol. Can't beat that low end tourqe tho. I love 2s and 4s. I love all moto tbh

@@Tater4200 I own a 2016 yz250 and a 2019 250sxf both are awesome

[@Tater4200]

I wish you woulda shown the actual cam lobe locations. I BELIEVE the exhaust cam had slipped in the gear on my bike. But I'm not 100%. I can't find a dam picture or video of the cam lobe locations at tdc compression for a 2021 crf250rx. Mine the exhaust lobe is at about 11 o'clock (standing on left side of bike) and the intake lobe is at 3 o'clock. I was expecting to see a 3 and 9. Or maybe a 2 and 10. But not 11 and 3... is this right? Is the intake cam that far advanced?

[@davidpalmer287]

So just to clarify for example the intake should be between .08 to .14. I have always rode Kawis and that is how the valve clearances are stated in their manuals. So this whole time ive been on a honda ive set the clearance between .11 to .03 which i thought seemed odd. And i have asked a few other mechanics and that is how they do it as well. I wish Honda could just write an actual value instead of this plus or minus shit. Im glad i watched this though thanks for the good videos

[@goatyachty1762]

So I'm new to this maintenance stuff, so basically you have to figure out that clearance and do that math equation to find out what you need. I dont really know what was going on in that part of the video or what the shims or clearance does but it seems like some crazy complicated stuff. I would think a manual would just say what size you need

[@gregoryolsen1263]

How many hours to do a valve adjustment?

[@rmatvmc]

Honda recommends checking the valve clearance every 6 races or 15 hours. If you're not racing your bike hard, you can likely go longer but it's a good idea to check often to avoid a bigger/more expensive problem.
