Valve Adjustment Pt 2 Replacing Shims

[@dangerously72]

Great video series on Valve Adjustment. Best one on KZbin that i've found. Getting rdy to do the same steps on my 2002 CBR954RR with 44k miles. Going to adjust valves and replace cam chain and tensioner. Thanks for showing everyone how to save tons of $ by doing it yourself. :)

[@Bumbaclot213]

The most clear and concise video i’ve seen on what I thought was a very daunting job! Gonna attempt this on my SRAD 600

[@chasemcclary8861]

this man is a fucking saint for anyone without a huge budget.

[@zamzx10]

Hi mate, how to measure the present shims? you have shown clearly to measure the clearance, I am not quite sure how to determine the present shim before we use the simple equation. Cheers!

[@Knaprapat]

Thanks a lot for this video! I just did my first valve adjustment with help from you and the manual! :) / cheers from Sweden

[@Shimmoda]

Glad I could help!

[@adamstratford6740]

Bro ive said before but I'll say it again you got 🏐s bro doing jobs like this on your bike very clever guy respect 💯👊uk 🇬🇧Adam

[@djcbs31]

Lets get it guys!! 6k more to go for 100000 subs!! 😱

[@menom7]

Ugh,Thank GOODNESS for my "Hydraulic" Valve adjusters,NEVER needing any adjustment on my Honda CB-750 Nighthawk!!! Haha. :) (even MORE thankful after watching You do this!!!) Lol.

[@DinoG100]

Muscle Biker I love these videos, no one has ever shown such an in depth video of some of the things you've done here. Could we get a cost of doing this yourself versus getting a mechanic to do it? Pros and Cons? Video liked! Love your vids dude:D keep up the hard work;)

[@Shimmoda]

For sure! But in short a valve adjustment can cost 500+ for the zx6r but for my aprilia it costs 1100-1500. If I didn't need the tools then all I needed to pay for was a 35% gasket and 50$ worth of shims haha

[@victorgonza4528]

Investing in some quality tools makes a difference when doing engine related work , also could you explain how is it the new shim smaller then the old one ?

[@cameroonking0076]

I watched the entire video. good job

[@Shimmoda]

Thank you it means a lot!

[@emaleme2021]

I love saving money hahah sorry dealership.

[@jonathanhavel1036]

Your pretty smart kid.. but i would have done all of them anyway, being that you went through all the work to strip the engine down. you could have pulled some of the closer shims back into spec closer than what they were because they eventually we be out of spec anyway..

[@Black_Gold_Saw]

The Muscle Biker, Is there a part 3 comming? The video suddenly ended. BTW: Nice video's. Intresting to watch.

[@Shimmoda]

+666JL666 yup! It'll be up today!

[@ClarkBrent]

"They also provide a little magnifying glass." *tries to magnify the ground* "Shit..." hahah

[@ClarkBrent]

Also look into getting an APE manual CCT. You typically need to replace those OEM auto CCT's after about 20k miles or so. Just had to replace mine, and that APE CCT was some of the best $50 investments I've put on my bike.

[@Shimmoda]

hahah ikr! I'm gunna look into that Thanks for the recommendation! Where did you buy it from?

[@ClarkBrent]

I bought mine directly from APE's website. They're SoCal based, and I got the CCT in about two days after it was shipped. Wouldn't take much longer to get to Utah I suspect. The machining of the part is top notch, and is basically it's the go to manual CCT for our bikes. Pretty sure this thing will last longer than the life of my ZX6R.

[@im_too_tall4667]

Your bikes are cool

[@Shimmoda]

Thank you :D

[@aroldoprivat8301]

i wish i would be able to work as good on my bike, as you can lol

[@Shimmoda]

Just gotta get comfortable! you can open up your bike and not work on it just to look into it :D

[@ItzShobo]

All was going well until I ran into the same problem as you with a stripped bolt. How were you able to get that bolt out?

[@dariodipaola8445]

I wanted to install race cams on my ZX10R and honestly this project doesn't sound too bad at all... looks like I probably don't even need to drop the engine?!

[@Shimmoda]

I haven’t done that before but from what I’ve understood you don’t need to drop the frame and you just swap out the old cams

[@NJOwens-ep3hf]

hey The Muscle Biker - Just a thought for the next videos in the series - why not use a combination of tripod & headband mounts for your cam ??

[@Shimmoda]

I don't want to use the headband cuz it's harder to see in detail. I used the Tripod for a few clips but I was trying to get close up shots haha I was shaky with all the caffeine XD

[@manorlh3436]

good video! Btw, which oil do u use to lubricate the shim? I guess engine oil ?

[@Shimmoda]

Yeah just whatever oil you use to put in the engine I think the zx6r was 10w-40

[@HarleyBreakoutGuy]

Good info thanks mate

[@Sk2PPer]

Does your brake reservoir Leak? I've had that same brake reservoir and had to replace it twice smh

[@anguskangus8222]

Starret micrometer beats digital caliper anytime.

[@nuclearchris832]

So muscle biker. If not for the stripped bolt trouble would you diy this again. Looking back was it really that bad.?

[@Shimmoda]

Yeah I would still do it. I'm selling my RSV4 to go back to an inline four because of how easy they are to do the valves

[@kawilifezx10r23]

My buddy tried this on his zx6r ended up turning it into a 300cc engine after he put it all together. We never figured out why he was running on 2 cylinders only but he sold the bike and bought a new one lesson learned.

[@RouletteRider]

Do you have a video on bleeding and replacing fluids for hydraulic clutches?

[@Shimmoda]

+Roulette Rider unofruneatley I don't sorry man is it on a Ducati?

[@RouletteRider]

The Muscle Biker nah I'm not that rich lol it's a Honda 996 super hawk '98

[@KC-2000PROMEGA]

The other day I was looking for ur "Running from cops" video and apparently u have removed it!! but y?

[@MulliganWallen]

umm nope nada no na not hapnin it will blow up b4 i go threw that just chamging the plugs on my cbr600 is nuts enough ill pay 500 and let honda check and only replace the ones outta spec even tho they should do it your way and try to put them all in spec middle instead of just in range cause the next months one that was barley in spec and they left is now out sheeeeeeesh good vid tho

[@jb9371]

How many miles were on your bike when you did this?

[@Shimmoda]

32k

[@alijahgilkey1130]

Have you and TheStradman ever met each other?

[@Shimmoda]

Yeah I raced him in a video a while back but he never responds to me lol Here is my buddy's video of the race since he was closer kzbin.info/www/bejne/bHfXiHV8hplmlZo

[@alijahgilkey1130]

The Muscle Biker Wow! Thank you so much man! You and him are my favorite KZbinrs! I'm here in Utah for a couple more weeks and would love to see you guys lol.

[@alijahgilkey1130]

[@ducke295]

Where did you learn to do all this yourself?

[@Shimmoda]

+Ben S various KZbin videos, the zx6r forum and the service manual haha big shout out to Shaun Neilson's KZbin channel

[@ducke295]

The Muscle Biker I tried to replace my cam chain tensioner based off of KZbin videos and ended up making my engine jump timing. $700 repair lol

[@Shimmoda]

+Ben S yikes! There's some things I won't work on but I'm shipping my bikes to Austin Texas and that guy I mentioned in the video is gunna teach me more about bikes I'd love to learn more
