The very best tutorial on the trx 350 valve adjustment, thankyou Sir

Fantastic video. Thank you for the time and effort in explaining and showing us common folk how to tackle a job like this. Very much appreciated!

I wish I would’ve come across your videos earlier on during my 06 TRX350FM repair, my bike started losing top end power at the end of NC Deer season which was new year’s day. I started tearing the bike down back in February and am still slowly getting her back together, carb rebuild, ending up with me replacing it with a NOS carb, replacement of all the vacuum lines and fuel hose, replacing all of the gas tank valves and petcock, adjusting the valves, and lastly will be removing the silen exhaust baffle that I believe was the beginning of my problems in the first place. I’m very much and will hopeful that I’ll be able to ride again when NC Rifle begins in middle October. I’d been watching a variety of videos while freshening and replacing parts, mostly partzilla, I wanted to comment about how detailed your instructions were, your very much appreciated Mr, 4Wheeler Doctor, you filled in the information gaps regarding how to adjust the valves. I found it humorous that prior to getting to the valve adjustment that I actually did replace the entire pullstart cover, it was a minor PITA at the time as you stated having to use 1/4” drive and most of the bolts on the cover being difficult to access. In the grand scheme it obviously made this job that much easier. The way that you zoomed into the show the tick marks on the crank for top stroke was great, your instructions left all doubt behind. Just wanted to say I’m a 100% combat disabled veteran who has probably forgotten more about mechanics and working with tools than I remember these days, guys coming home changed from

Thanks for video. I enjoyed all the info on how to do.

Thanks and Thanks for watching.

Your patience is AMAZING!!! If I was doing this video, it would have turned into a profanity laced "R" rated video within the first five minutes!!! LOL!!! So, how can you tell when this job absolutely needs to get done?? I'm asking because I'm not in a big hurry to adjust the valves on my 300 Fourtraxx. Thanks again for your great videos!!!!

great job

Thanks and Thanks for watching.

after I adjusted the valves startup sounded great, a short test run was great but after a longer run time when engine was warmed up the valves became noisier than before they were adjusted. adjusted them again after engine cooled down and the same thing happened when the engine warmed up. wondering what the issue is?

Probably your timing chain or timing chain tensioner

I just replaced the one-way bearing. Just like you did in the video for a Honda TRX 300 now my throttle is not working it revs but it doesn’t move the four wheeler any advice?

Are you sure you put the one way in facing the right direction?

Is it the same process on my 2007 Honda rancher 400 at

What would be the next thing to look for if setting the valves does not get rid of the ticking/chatter?

The cam chain has slack

Manual says torque the valve cover bolts to 25 ft-lbs. no way that’s right, IMO. I’ve broken at least four off trying to reach that torque. Your opinion on torque value?

That 25 is probably for the holder bolt it's called which is down in the head. The valve cover bolts are only about 7 ft pounds my torque wrench is in Newton meter so I use about 10 newton meters. They really just need to be snowed down. 7 ft pound is not very tight

Do you do this for a living because I'm very interested in bringing you my 2006 355 rancher

If it had a metal gasket then yes it is reusable. Make sure your bolts are snug.

The pull cord was rusted solid. It wasn't compression that I couldn't over come it was the rust on the pull mechanism.
