[@sambaker2797]

Thank you for this video. Best valve adjustment video I could find.

[@BASKETBALL_LOVE14]

You make it looks so easy thanks I ordered the book just incase I get stuck doing mines great video

[@NotAWomble]

Tips for better videos: no annoying music.

[@tymothy_m9r]

You can also just lossen the radiator mounting bolts and forget draining the coolant 😂 that solves 2 problems.

Hello, I need help, how much space does the manual indicate in admission and how much in escape?

[@christophercorrado2406]

this music kills me

[@thetimesbeherald]

I didn’t mind the music personally it wasn’t too awfully loud and was kinda good

[@cannabiscatnip5677]

Hate to burst your bubble. You’re looking for too much gap. Not too tight.

Hey @scrapmetalmade do you have stickers ? I’d like some for my bike like these ninja videos I have a 06 and doing the valve adjustment soon ?

[@scrapmetalmade]

No stickers for sale, thanks for the support!

Will you help me on connecting cooling system pipes for kawasaki 2006 gpx ex250 engine

[@bhaihussain6271]

Same measures for 250r...2011 model fi....??

[@BASKETBALL_LOVE14]

Dumb question is there a adjustment screw on every rocker that needs to be loosen then adjusted in other words are there 4 that need to to be loosen and adjusted like 1 adjuster per valve

[@NotAWomble]

There are 4 in total, yes ;)

I had oil pour out when I took off the cap to move the valves is this normal? and or would you know what it could be.

[@MarshallSmith27]

make a video on your carb settings for the K&N pod filter. I cant get mine to run right no matter what jets I run

[@backwoodsjunkie08]

Have you tried checking the float levels and balancing the carb butterfly valves? I had an old LTD400 that would not run and it ended up being the float levels, one was bent so the carb was barly getting any fuel

[@MarshallSmith27]

@@backwoodsjunkie08 I have, many times. theyre in spec and I have also lowered the floats as someone recommended and that did not help. I'm pretty good with carbs but this one has confused me

[@Aciecarter238]

Cv carbs do not like pod filters. Have to get a slide carb if you want to run pods.

[@MarshallSmith27]

@@Aciecarter238 Its all good. I realized after the longest time that I had a bad jet. it runs perfect now. it never ran great even when it was new but now it runs better than ever

[@johnmarston2137]

miles when you did it?

[@austindegrasse3270]

The cap where you are able to move the valves ai had lots of oil come out of it. Is this normal? if not what could it beS

[@rickydeuce2334]

Can you take a look at my video I’m having trouble with my bike

[@scrapmetalmade]

What have you tried so far? This site has a lot of good info: faq.ninja250.org/wiki/Intake.

[@josephe4667]

My carbs are so flooded there’s more gas in my engine then oil 🥲

Be careful. None of the cam lobes were ever in the correct position in this video. The lobes needs to be pointed up and out as can be seen @13:33 ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmWQh4eulL2hmqc ) in the graphic on the sheet of instructions he holds. At no point when he was measuring clearances and making adjustments were the heels of the cams properly above the rocker arms. Please verify the arrangement mechanical assembly before making adjustments so you do not destroy your timing like @ScrapMetalMade has here. Other issues, there was needless disassembly. Valve cover can be removed with less effort. Also, each cylinder has a TDC and is adjusted respectfully. You need to locate TDC on cylinder 1 (the 1T mark), but you also need to locate it for cylinder 2 ( there is a 2T). When you can see the marks in the viewport, you also need to verify the angle of the cam lobes. With patience cycle the engine until the configuration is correct. You may notice issues with the valve clearances by doing this alone. In the adjustment stage, after loosening the locknut, make the adjustment with a small slotted driver through a deep 9mm socket. This way you can easily lockdown the adjustment screw while also holding its position.
