    09 valves

    Does anyone have information on what type of valves the 09 has. We all know how simple it is to adjust our valves now. It would be nice for many of us amateur mechanics like myself to get in there without much trouble. I know the motor is different, but I would like to know what it's going to...

    Help a neophyte adjust his valves

    Help a newbie out, please? My 'Berg is hard to start. Especially when cold. I'm the second owner that I know of, and I don't know if the valves have ever been gone thru or not. So I figure this is as good a time as any to adjust the valve clearance(s) while I already had the bike apart. But...

    Camchain / Valves / Timing

    Whilst my bike is partially stripped-down I plan to check the camchain tension, valve clearances and timing. What order should this be done in? 1) Check camchain tension? 2) Set Valve clearances? 3) Check ignition timing? Does it matter? I don't think my camchain tensioner spring is strong...

    Titanium valves

    Cheers all! Where do you recommend me to buy titanium valves? Kibblewhite seems like the obvious alternative, but I would appreciate any other ideas as the swedish importer is less fun to work with. I´m looking for 40mm intake valves with 6mm stem, if possible. Thanks!

    Valves adjustment screw turns endlessly

    Something bizarre when I try to adjust the valves. I have it at TDC, on the compression stroke. I know because I watched the valves go up and down and also there is no slack in the decomp cable. Adjusting the intake valves was easy. Did the 1/3 turn out. But the exhaust valves, for some...

    Husaberg valves

    I just finished checking my valve clearances on my '05 Husaberg at 60 hours. Besides the initial break-in adjustment, where the intakes were slightly tight, the valves have not moved at all. This is in contrast to my KTM 520, where I had to Replace both intake valves at 150 hours due to...
