FYI guys curtesy of @MassiveOverkill. The Rhino and Vikings used a cam-actuated rocker, which made valve adjustments easy with no need to buy shims. Valve adjustments on our X2/X4 engines aren't quite as easy with the camshafts directly actuating the valve. Finding TDC and checking valve clearance is similar, but adjusting valve clearance requires removal of the camshafts and valve lifter to change out the pads underneath.

Thanks so much a lot of the other videos didn’t explain as much as you did. thanks!!

Great job Jason, One important thing on valve adjustment procedure....Engine MUST BE COLD!!!

Thank you for this video. I am going to watch this and adjust my valves on a 2006 raptor 350 for the first time because you are so detailed in your video. Thank you

Well I installed my fuel pump today and my new carb on my artic cat 400 and it runs great I did have to crank on it for about 20 mins before it started running great thank you for your advice on my quad ( keep on rocking) Love your vedioes and have a happy New year!

Awesome to here!

Great video. You got some nice riding land!

Been a while since you posted this but those aluminum intake runner with a prv on it are pretty good. No issues with mine in a couple yrs

this is outstanding work, thanks a ton! one question: why is the stud metric on the intake side and US on the exhaust side???

Yes both intake and exhaust valve cover bolts are supposed to be the Allen head bolts lol

Nice vid. I have an 03 that I just bought and it only runs for about 10-15 mins before it starts sputtering, back firing and then stalls out. Have to wait an hour or two before it starts again. Then the cycle repeats. Any one had this issue? Most of what I'm seeing online is saying to check valve clearances, CDI, coil, and the stator. This has all been over the summer in Phoenix so I'm wondering if temperatures are playing a role. Thanks for any advice

So after adjustment on the intake valve then find top dead center to the exhaust Valve (opened) and adjust according to specs

You want to adjust both intake and exhaust valves on TDC of the compression stroke.

Hey what are your jet size?

Mine sounds the same when starting. I'm guessing that is normal?

Nice vid mate! did the oil leak from the valve adjuster cap improve after the valve adjustment? mine's leaking too and I don't know why

Im having the same issue. My motor was making a ticking noise and the Mechanic said it was a Valve but I noticed a slight oil Leak

When you started your warrior mine sounds like that but won’t start, do you what could be wrong?

You’ll hear a distinct “tick” from your valves that will tell you they need adjusted.

Do you a Facebook page? What is the name? I jus bought a 99 warrior and the previous owner did not take care of the quad. Needs some work and your video is very detailed I want to ask you some questions on a few things on it. Thanks

For single cylinder engines, yes. It will vary with multiple cylinder engines however and it’s always best to check the what the specific engine requires.

For the warrior it definitely needs to be TDC on the compression for timing and valve adjustment

After adjusting valve clearance to spec should there be play in it? like if I tap on the top it after adjusting it makes a ticking noise like there’s play

Hi... I know that this is not a Bruin video but I am wondering if you might me able to help me out a bit anyway? I have looked everywhere and I get different valve clearance setting recommendations from different places I look. Can you help me out? I have a 2006 Yamaha Bruin, Model: YFM350A - Vin: 5Y4AH10Y66A021826. The other thing is, my feeler gauge has both Metric and Inches. If you can help me out with the correct clearance settings, please tell me if they are to be used with Metric or Inches on my gauge? >
