Possible torque discrepancy. I could be misinterpreting the manuals, but I believe both the 1996 service manual and the 2006 supplement service manual state 69 in-lb for the cylinder head cover bolts, not 106. The valve clearances shown in this video (.15-.24 and .10-.19) seem to match the documentation though.
You may be right. I guess i had that number stuck in my head after doing ZX6R engine rebuilt. Nearly every bold similar size is 106. How ever, that value is recommended due to compression of the gasket. 106 is still remained true going into aluminum block. Worst case scenario, excessive deformation the gasket overtime (years possibly) causing a small leak.
Only a few things: I would never recomend using kerosene on plastic's over time it will eventually wear it (and let's not talk about the soft one's). Best thing is water + soap and use it with a spray bottle, cleaning the surface of the head cover and the gaskeet side's. When taking out the camshaft chain tensioner, don't forget to undo the under tensioner that is behind the exhaust (that you need to remove) under the top chain tensioner, otherwise you will find it hard to remove/install the camshaft's and the chain all toguether. It is supposed to be torqued at 15nm (1.5 kgf·m, 11 ft·lb) by service manual. Also you should be wary of the camshaft chain tensioner since it will tell you about your camshaft chain life, your's seem's almost at it's limits since the camshaft tensioner went out quite more than 2/3. I would check/change the camshaft chain. Last but not least, I thank your for the Excel page where I can add the max/min tolerance's values and the sizes of the shim's and gap's between camshaft and valve bucket's. And alway's read the service manual, I love that it give's you a lot of information on how to do the maintenances.
I absolutely hate shims. Why couldn't they just use tappets and make it simple? Thank you for your video though, you have made a painful job that much easier

I have a 2006 KLX 250s that needs to have the valves checked. This video is extremely helpful!
Took mine apart two years ago and forgot how it went. Thanks!
Thanks so much for making this video!
Fantastic video. Thank you!

Thank you for the video and also the excel! I guess the procedure will be the same for the klx 250 2016 model.

Thanks very for the video and information , appreciated
Brother! Do you have the manual or know of a full pdf version?
Hi mate , what is the valve adjustment intervals pls ?
Brand new bike: 500 miles
Used bike: When you bough it.
Manual specifications: At 7.5K and then every 4K miles
@@tonycstech The 2018 says valve adjustment at 500km, 12,000km then 24,000km ect...
