The videos were created when I adjusted the valves on my 2016 Yamaha FZ 09. The shots of the manual are taken from the 2014-2016 FZ 09 Yamaha service manual.

I have done my best to provide accurate information, but as with everything on TH-cam and in life, do your own due diligence(Due diligence is an investigation or review performed to confirm facts or details of a matter under consideration). I accept no responsibility for errors or omissions. Perform service at your own risk and liability. Check the service manual for your own particular year and model.
I can’t verify this, but the procedure performed for the actual valve clearance measurement, camshaft removal, bucket and shim removal, and timing chain/cam cap reinstallation should be similar for the above models and possibly for other similar motorcycles (Check the service manual for your own particular model cross referenced to the VIN).
For instance, the intake camshaft Yamaha part number 1RC-12170-00-00 CAMSHAFT ASSY 1 is used across the different models and years listed above. Yamaha made a big change to the MT 09 and related models starting in October 2020 when the engine displacement was changed from 847 cc to 890 cc.

Thanks for the detailed video! Very helpful actually seeing how all the parts assemble vs. looking at a diagram in the service manual.
FYI, at 24:41 in your video you ask what connectors you're looking at, the light grey connector located at your index finger at that time mark is an accessory 12v power connector. The cap is removable and is only there to protect the contacts in the male side of the connector. You can get wiring plugs on eBay to replace the protective blank cap with a wired female end of the connector. The accessory power is switched with the ignition and is on a 2 amp fuse that sits within the fuse block that you removed towards the front side of the air scoop.

Thanks for the positive feedback...glad you liked it! I know what you mean...that's one of the reasons that I started this channel was to provide videos that people could actually see what was happening up close.
I actually figured out what the connector was... about a month later when I made this video....at 53 seconds in. In the description at the bottom, I left a link on where to purchase.

I like your new intro riding near the snow fields! Here’s hoping you don’t have too many left over parts when you reassemble this machine.

Thanks....the dimpled snow cliff was 200 yards from the top on the way to Artist Point near the Mt. Baker Ski Area..picture and video taken July 18 2018 when the snow was almost gone...I'm glad I'm filming this so I can remember where and how everything goes(and to help other people see the process)..If you click the thumbs up(and subscribe if you haven't) it helps my channel grow...also there is a link in the description and in the about section of my channel where you can show your appreciation by buying me a coffee...or just click the same link here ...www.buymeacoffee.com/thanksrobert

Hey whats wrong with the radiator, if there is any

[@meticulousmechanic]

Nothing is wrong with the radiator you are correct... I just took it off so I could film the valve adjustment procedure better.... Some people just tilt the radiator forward to do a valve adjustment... It's not too hard to remove so I would probably just take it off and change the coolant while you're at....if it's time....
