Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Anybody going to the Yamaha Appreciation event at Sonoma Raceway the next couple of days? See you there!

 

HAHAHAHAHAHHA that's funny shit rite there

 

Anyone interested in scorpion exo modular helmet? 2014 so a couple years left at least.
Size Med.
$50 shipped.

 

Decided to check the valves on the drz. Maybe i'm running my MCCT too tight. I just do not understand. My intake valves seem to be barely 0.127mm, Exhaust are 0.18mm

Spec range:
Intake 0.10mm-0.20mm
Exhaust 0.20mm-0.30mm

So they are too tight.

 

what is MCCT? how many miles since last check?

 

Awww, if that were a large I'd probably take it. Good luck though

 

Manual cam chain tensioner.

Checked at 7500 and they were perfect.

Bike is now at 12500. Exhuast is definitely too tight. Intake is still in spec but getting tight.

 

the mcct wont effect that. exhaust is usually the culprit to tighten up anyways if i remember correctly

 

guys, i have to tell you a secret.




im afraid to hit a double

 

i was. just have to send it like everyone says. nobody around me when i finally sacked up and started hitting them

 

Its the only reason i can figure that they would be getting tighter....if the cams are being pulled down by the tensioner.

Either way. The buckets must need smaller shims so the cam lones have more clearance. That is my understanding.

 

Nah, valves just stretch slowly over time. That's why they're a maintenance item. You're right on the shims thing though, that's how you'll adjust them.

 

Normal for valves to move.

 

Not a japanese bike lol

 

Usually what happens is the valve wears where it contacts the seat, which allows the valve to sink farther into the head, which makes clearance smaller. They sell kits for valve shims. You will remove the current valve shim and measure, then put in the next smallest shim so you gain more clearance

Sure it is, especially if ridden hard.

 

This bike has not seen any leisure....thats for sure

 

As it should be ridden.
