Motorcycle Repair: How to adjust the Valves or Valve Lash on a 1985 Honda XR600

[sheephead007]

great video!! would valves out of sdjustment affect compression when starting?(low compression)

Thank you so much for this video! I got my valves adjusted and it went very smoothly! However I used this video in accordance with the manual and it never said to take the spark plug out so I never did and it was fine...

@trab1925 Thank You! I take the plug out to make it easier to turn over.

i forgot to say good video! well shot and explained.

the valve adjustment covers are a good idea, they look like the sump plug on my bike. does your engine have to be totally cold before you make the clearance adjustment? because the clearances will close up when the engine is hot.

@johnstonutd I do adjust them with the engine cold. Thanks for watching!
