VALVE ADJUSTMENT TUTORIALPES WITH TABLET

Ce tutorial aims at you help adjust valve clearance of your motorcycle 4 Temps 125cm3 thanks to the pics and explanations associated. In this example we used a Kawasaki Ninja 125 engine, but the procedure remains the same for the other 4-stroke engines.

It is imperative to start work when the engine is very cold.

Look for the manufacturer's data for the setting. Depending on the type of engine, some manufacturers recommend making this adjustment every 5 thousand km, others every 000 thousand km.

There are two types of valves, those of admission and those of exhaust.

You must also be in possession of a set of shims, the very precise adjustment of the clearance is of the order of 5 hundredths of a millimeter.

HOW TO ADJUST THE GAME AT THE VALVESPES A TABLET ON YOUR MOTORCYCLE 4 TIMES

It is not necessary to remove the motor in order to carry out the adjustment. Here the engine is deposited in order to better show you the procedure to follow.

Adjust valve clearance step 1

1) Remove the 4 screws from the cylinder head cover

Adjust valve clearance step 2

2) Remove the cylinder head cover

Adjust valve clearance step 3

3) Remove the 2 plugs from the ignition cover

Adjust valve clearance step 4

4) It is necessary to rotate the ignition using the pawl in order to align the T mark

Adjust valve clearance step 5

5) Check "IN" alignment ET "EX" (Inside and Outside)

6) You can start checking the valve clearance by starting par admission by referring to the manufacturer's recommendations. First, the intake valve 1

Adjust valve clearance step 7

7) Using the feeler gauge, measure the space between the cam and the tappet. The gauge should pass with a slight resistance

Adjust valve clearance step 8

8) The manufacturer's recommendation for this model is between 0.10 mm and 0.19 mm

Adjust valve clearance step 9

9) Do the same for the second intake valve

Adjust valve clearance step 10

11) Let's move on to the exhaust valves, the manufacturer's recommendation is between 0.21 and 0.28 mm

Adjust valve clearance step 11

11) On the 2 exhaust valve, the clearance says 0.11 mm - the recommendation between 0.21 and 0.28. The tablet needs to be replaced

Adjust valve clearance step 12

11) Start par remove the timing chain tensioner

Adjust valve clearance step 13

11) Remove the 8 screws from the camshaft bearing

Adjust valve clearance step 14

11) Drop the bearing

Adjust valve clearance step 15

11) Pull out the camshaft to release the tappet

Adjust valve clearance step 16

11) Pull out the plunger using the needle-nose pliers

Adjust valve clearance step 17

11) Remove the pellet to measure it using the micrometer

Adjust valve clearance step 18

11) Accuracy is determinedepar the spindle thread pitch. The axis is a screw machined with high precision, and the object to be measured is placed between the axis and the anvil

Adjust valve clearance step 19

11) 5 laps were completed and 0.45 on the last lap: 2.50 + 0.45 = 2.95

20) Reminder: Recommended clearance between 0.21 mm and 0.28 mm, measured clearance 0.11 mm, pad thickness 2.95 mm

To get the ideal pad thickness 2.95 mm (measured pad thickness) - 0.10 mm (difference between measured clearance and recommended clearance) = 2.85 mm

Adjust Valve Clearance Step 21

11) Choose the corresponding tablet

Adjust valve clearance step 22

11) Insert it then reposition the pusher

Adjust valve clearance step 23

11) Reposition the camshaft

Adjust valve clearance step 25

11) Dust off the gasket plane

Adjust valve clearance step 26

11) Replace the camshaft bearing

Adjust valve clearance step 27

11) Tighten the screws to torque 0.9 Nm observing the order

Adjust valve clearance step 28

11) Check "IN" and "EX" alignment

Adjust valve clearance step 29

11) To reset the chain tensioner, press the lug

Adjust valve clearance step 30

11) Then push the primer

Adjust valve clearance step 31

11) Refit the chain tensioner, replace the screws

Adjust valve clearance step 32

11) Return the chain tensioner to the original position

Adjust valve clearance step 36

11) Screw the cylinder head cover screws back in - tightening torque 0.8 Nm

Adjust valve clearance step 37

11) Replace the ignition pan plugs

Valve clearance is part of routine motorcycle maintenance. You can do it preventive or for simple verification. The consequences can be serious. Indeed, if the clearance is too low, there is a loss of compression. If the clearance is too great, the valve wears out prematurely.

Replacing a pellet (whether intake or exhaust) can be more tricky.

all parts are suitable for the engines of your 125 motorcycle. You will find at 50factory.com new or used parts for all brands as well astools suitable and all maintenance products of your two wheels
