Cruizin Posted February 10, 2018 Share Posted February 10, 2018 I have been emailed a few times asking if we had a tech tip on this. When one of you go to check/adjust valve clearences, could you please take some pics and write up a tech tip? Thank in advance.

Premium Member fzar Posted February 10, 2018 Premium Member Share Posted February 10, 2018 That would be very useful if somebody did it and put up a tip. I'm not the man for that tip unfortunately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator mjh937 Posted February 11, 2018 Global Moderator Share Posted February 11, 2018 I find that a well done how-to is a lot more helpful than the line drawings and text in a maintenance manual, plus it gives me a good idea of if it is something I want to try to tackle myself. Hopefully someone will take this project on before my valve inspection is due. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruizin Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Tech tips are what make motorcycle forums useful and attract new members. When the day comes that we are "Too Good" to write and share tech tips to help others, I'll yank this entire website from the internet. Sharing and learning is what forums are about, otherwise we are no better than the facebook groups posting wheelie pics.

Cruizin Posted February 24, 2018 Author Share Posted February 24, 2018 Still hoping one of you can write a tech tip for checking/adjusting the valves. This would help so many people. Take some pics or even better, take a video while checking your valves. Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peteinpa Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I'm not looking at them for 19k miles yet, but I've checked 16 valves on my V4 ST1300 twice, no adjustment needed. Got new red 2015 FZ-07 on 7/22/16! Black 2006 Honda ST1300 53K miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each member can upload a max 3 mb photo. Which is HUGE. We limit pic size because we are trying to avoid paying hundreds per month in pic hosting bills. But 2-3 MB is more than enough for pics. What device are you using to upload the pics? Iphone? PC? MAC? Also, I suggest adjusting your device to adjust the size of your pics or it will fill up your storage very fast. Also make sure that your pics are JPG or PNG. Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Via iPhone The fastest way to resize a photo on an iphone is to simply email it to yourself. Apple then resizes it in a format that can be uploaded and emailed easily. Standard iphone pics are just too large to be emailed or uploaded easily. Resize a Photo from the iPhone & iPad by Email This relies on the Mail sending feature to change the resolution of an image sent from the iPhone or iPad, this is done by reducing the overall size to one of several options: From the Photos app, select the photo(s) you want to resize then tap on the “Share” option (the little arrow icon) Choose “Mail” and select the recipient, choosing your own email as the recipient if you want to just resize an image and share it with yourself Tap on “Send” to bring about the resize options, choose one of the following to change the resolution of the picture as follows: “Small” is 320×240 – so small it’s basically useless, hard to imagine a scenario where this size would be appropriate “Medium” is 640×480″ – probably what ‘small’ should be “Large” is 1632×1224 – exactly half of the full size image, the halving applies to all iOS devices for now “Actual” is 3264×2448 – the full size image taken from the iPhone camera, not resized or compressed After you sent the pictures to yourself, now you just need to tap and hold onto them to save them to the iPhone in their newly resized version. They will now upload easily to this and most other forums/websites. Yamaha MT-10 ForumYamaha Tracer 900 Forum Yamaha Ténéré 700 Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njdevils1990 Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I'm at 10,550 miles (~16,900 km) right now and plan to be at the service interval for valve clearance check in probably 6-8 months. If no one makes a write up for it by then I'll be doing it and uploading my own write up at that point. 2003 Buell XB9R (2011-2011) Crashed 2009 Buell 1125CR (2011-2013) Sold 2015 Yamaha FZ-07 (2014-?)

topazsparrow Posted January 28, 2019 Share Posted January 28, 2019 I'm due for valves this spring. I'm not sure I can manage a full write up, but my buddy is a bike mechanic so I can try and video / photograph the procedure as best as possible. For what it's worth, the steps in the service manual that's floating around online is pretty clear and concise about the procedure as a backup plan.
