[@ericdemant9250]

You showed how the front came looks but not the rear im struggling to do timing on the rear

[@JohnnieV]

There’s no way my bike would ever run again if I took it apart

[@JohnSmith-yg8jk]

Great video! Would a out of specs valve clearance make the engine not to start? I have 2000 sv650 that doesn't start at this moment. I have spark, good compression, and fuel. I even tried starting fuel straight into the carbs with no success. In the past it would start right away. Thank you

[@LWTRACER]

They would have to be wildly out of spec for the engine to not start, that is most likely not the problem as to why your bike won't start.

[@docmotoman3755]

Hey did you figure this out? Having the same issue on my 2002

[@kevinsmith3935]

Great vid mate, do you check sv1000 valve clearance the same way?

[@cwg6324]

Do you have a video to tell the difference between cam chain rattle and main engine bewring or piston slap. Mine doing a slapping / knocking noise from front cylinder.

[@trevorjohnsen4303]

Find the issue?

[@everygirls2719]

can u send link for this box with shims?

[@TrustyZ900]

When removing cam chain tensioners, do you remove the base with the two screws to the head or just the center bolt , spring and tensioner itself?

[@LWTRACER]

everything. I loosen the middle bolt first.

[@N0nManfiold99]

How much more work would it be to remove the actual valves themselves and check they're not bent/tapping if cam timing was off ?

[@LWTRACER]

You'd have to remove both cylinder heads. You'd be looking at a few more hours of work.

[@johnmarston2137]

how many miles did you have on the engine when checking? when was the valve clearance last checked?

[@LWTRACER]

These are race bikes. Miles are almost never known. I normally only check when building the engine. They get checked again when rebuilding.

[@JustDaTips]

Why are you ok with the intake valve being at 10 thou if the clearance is stated at .004-.008? First!

[@LWTRACER]

G it’s a common practice on race motors.

[@drstimpy1]

Negligible change in flow from the reduced lift then?

[@SexyKnight01]

Do you prefer to be on the tight end or loose end on valve clearance?

[@jasonb6570]

Loose.

[@jyudomassan]

@LWT RACER do i have to drain the oil from the engine to do this?

[@LWTRACER]

nope.

[@jyudomassan]
