valves

I have found a source for longer 35mm inlet valves. the 2004-2008 bikes don't need them but the old 400s (2001-2003)do! they have to pay £65 per valve ($110) for OEM but I have sourced some at £30 each about the same as the later 35s. regards Taffy

just checked my valves and the exhaust were tight. but in order to adjust them, we only had a feeler gauge for .010 and .015. although the manual says the valves should be at .012, we set them at .015. i'm in the dominican republic and i can't just run down to a motorcycle shop or auto-parts...

Hi there going to have a go at checking the valves on my 550 fe 07 wondering if there is any little tricks to know and is 0.12mm is the best gap thanks :?

So, I'm about to go about checking the valves on my FS570, I have the reapir manual but it does assume that the engine is out the bike and stripped down to check them. My question is, to make my life simpler what do I HAVE to take off and what don't I? My guesses are tank radiators rocker...

Yesterday Robbo cracked 7 hours on his bike and 45 on mine, his made the cam chain noise. We did the one click trick fix and it worked perfectly ( no noise ) and checked valve clearances. After the first attempt, plenty of foul language and spilt beer we worked out that you should unbolt the...

I have a 2001 fe400 that had a camshaft bearing break and spit the balls throughout the engine. I found all of the bearings, replaced the broken bearing, broken balancer drive gear and put a new timing chain on while I had the engine apart. I lined up the dots on the new gear and placed the...

Hi all, I bought a 2nd hand FE400 and found that the intake valves are tuliped.. From what I derived reading though posts, I need to buy a pair of intake valves from KTM. Would anyone know which size/part number I should get for the FE 400 head? I will also need a pair of valve seats...

Had recent trouble starting my Fe400e,adjusted tappets (closed) all good.One ride (4 hours later) bike did not want to start again.Checked tappets and lo and behold the gap has closed.I'm not a mechanic but does this mean worn valves ?

tomorrow I'm gonna try to adjust the valves on my 99 fc501. I've never done this before. I heard you can tighten your tappets down to the vaves stem then back it off about 1/8th of a turn.. I started to try tonight, but I couldn't tell when I hit or was pushing the valve down. is there a trick...

With less than 20 hrs on my last cam chain replacement. I broke another one this past weekend. I am thinking that it was my "at home" chain rivet job quality. Now I need to check the valves to see if they are bent. I am thinking of just rotating the cam and checking the valve clearance. I...

I just checked my valves at 2000 miles and they are fine. .004 feeler goes in .005 doesn't. It kind of bothers me. I find it hard to beleive. My 04 KTM RFS need regular adjustments. Has anyone else not had to adjust there valves. Ever.

whato all, some folk know that i have had some Ti valves coming in and wanted to know the weight of them. anyway, i have just machined up two 37mm inlets for a greek customer. the OEMs weigh 42gms while these weigh 28gms each. i know that Ti is meant to weigh 56% of steel so 23gms...
