Okay...
Honestly.. Why the f*ck was I worried/scared to do them? ??? ??? ???
One of the easiest things I've done.
just wondering, does anyone have any idea without buying one, an easy way to make a tappet tool? (w/ the little square hole)
I ended up using a small crecent wrench worked good, but it'd have been easier w/ the real tool.
total time was about 1-1.5 hours. :clap:
<edit> I put them right in the middle of the specs they give in the manual. Found my intake was bit loose, the exhaust was a bit loose as well, but was REAL close.
I got rid of my valve chatter as well!!!!
I remember reading, valves have a tendancy to tighten over time? why that vs' loosening?
I was a bit aprehensive about doing it the first time, but holly shit its easy. I am use to cam on bucket design. I could not believe it!
You can take a wood deck screw that has a square head and clamp on some vice grips. I didnt have the tool and no one around me had one. I wanted to get it done before we left for Little Sahara.

You did set the tolerances to your new cam correct, not the stock ???
oh :mad:
Do you know what the specs are for the Hotcam 2? :'(
QuoteIntake
Intake lift (mm): 10.3
Intake lobe center (degrees): 111
Intake duration (degrees at 1mm): 260
Intake valve lash (mm): 0.1
Exhaust
Exhaust lift (mm): 8.6
Exhaust lobe center (degrees): 102.5
Exhaust duration (degrees at 1mm): 243
Exhaust valve lash (mm): 0.18
Note: Divide mm values by 25.4 for inches.
Are the bolded ones what I'd be putting them to?
If so I'm literally DEAD NUTS ON. Stock they give you a range to be inbetween, I just shot for the middle and called it a day.

Randy, I don't trust that website's crap. Half there info was for a CRF450. :mad:
You should have got a card with the cam with the specs, check it. Maybe call Steve, or kenneth to see if the got one around to read the number off.

Valve adjustment is easy, as long as you have the right tools. It's not too tough. I just don't like removing plastics.

When I go see the rappy Thursday I'll see if I can find the spec sheet, otherwise I gotta call Bo. He said he was going to send me a sheet with the clearances.
Yeah, HC stg 2 is .10mm intake and .18mm exhaust. You should be good to hook!
good stuff krandall getting some practice so you can do mine just right!

How long does it take? I wouldn't mind doing it at the rally if it doesn't take long.

That'd be the only thing, it doesn't take LONG.. You have to take off the front plastics/gas tank has to come off as well. once that's all off. maybe 15 mins.
We can do them in the Trailer :thumbs: :clap: I'm prolly gonna need to check mine to...
Nice. 8)

they tighten rather than loosen over time because as your valve seats wear the actual valve recesses farther into the head and moves closer to the rocker. :thumbs: :thumbs:
When removing the fuel tank, does the fuel line have a valve or something to keep what little fuel you have in the tank from leaking out or do have have to have a bone dry tank? Apprehensive about doing the valve adjustment, but sounds pretty easy.
fuel will not spill out from the tank, but whatever fuel remains inside the fuel hose and TB fuel rail will spill out.
Good to know, I just might build the nerve to adjust my own valves someday.
Just did mine today to putting in a new head gasket. .004"/.10mm & .008"/.20mm on the intake ;)

You don't have to take the fuel tank completely off...remove 4 10mm bolts, unplug fuel pump harness connector...now pick up the tank and rotate it clockwise and place it over the airbox, saves from having to keep removing the fuel line causing uneccesary wear/tear on the clips.
