- Checking the valve clearance on my 2014 Yamaha MT07
Part 2 video: • MT-07 | HOW TO camshaf...
Part 3 video: • MT-07 | HOW TO Valve c...
Parts to remove:
- bodyword
- fueltank
- seat
-coolant
-radiator
special tools needed:
-14mm sparkplug socket
-14mm hex key for the alternator cover
-angle gauge for a socket set
-feeler gauges 0,10-0,30mm
You dont need to remove the oil from the engine. Make sure the engine is completely cool before you measure the valve clearance.
I used the Haynes manual for this maintenace job. It shows all the steps to do this yourself.
Awesome content i look for to the next part regarding cam shaft and shims. Your definitely helping those of us that cant afford the dealers prices.
Yeah i got the video footage, just haven't made the video (yet)
Thanks for showing how it's done. Not much different from other modern bikes, but good to know that it can all be done with the engine in the frame, etc... All the details necessary were shown here unless you don't know what a puck kit looks like and how to do subtractive math to re-shim :)
This go, no go thing reminds me of checking headspace on an AK 😂🤣 love the video man very helpful
Now, what a goed videojow Jan-Willem 👍
Great effort, thanks
Thank you Twowheels, Great video, well explained and good work getting the shots. Love doing my own maintenance but would never have tried this without your video. Am now looking forward to it. Thanks again.
Thanks, this is why I like TH-cam!
Were you able to get it done? I'm building up the courage to do this myself.
@@southpawscientific4122 Sadly no, ended up selling the bike and got a Z900 now but would have liked to have done it. Will happily do it on this bike when it needs it. The way I see all these things is I will try it all but also have a plan B ready for if I screw something up. Been lucky so far though, Worth a gamble for the self satisfaction you get if you pull it off.Good luck mate.
@@MrBluegooh I think I'm at that point with my FZ-07, big decision time. Great choice in bikes, I just rented a 2018 Z900 Cafe and rode The [Tail of the] Dragon, it's a beautiful bike and handled nicely through the curves so it's on the list of next bikes for me.
@@southpawscientific4122 Tail of the Dragon, you lucky man!! I would love to ride that, seen many vids of it and looks an awesome road. How is it for cops? do they leave you alone or is it a bit hot there?
Thanks for the video. Today I've started doing my valves and that cylinder-head cover is an absolute pain in the ass. I don't have any service history but, there's high probability no one ever done this job until now at 62'000km. Spark plugs were quite black, intake valves were like yours around 0.15, sadly same on exhaust except one that was on the limit. Just to make bit more annoying I didn't have replacement parts, radiator support is bent, cable ziptie holder drops.
Yeah its quite a lot of work. And waiting for parts is not the best. But who has every shim size in stock at home?
I almost at 80.000 km, so I might have to do it again too.
That weird, when cylinder 1 is at TDC, the mark on the intake had the I mark facing the line on the hexaust... I guess i should align as per manual after with the I mark aligned with top cylinder head.
Do I need to remove spark plugs or just the plasctic spark plug cover ? Thanks for reply 👍
echt een hele goeie video, een van de weinige die in super details gaat over wat er gebeurd. rijd zelf een mt07 en wil echt heel graag mijn eigen onderhoud doen maar ik heb dus 0 ervaring :DDDDD
wat is je advies voor een rookie als mij? hoe heb jij je kennis verbreed hierin?
Je moet ergens een keer beginnen met sleutelen. Dit is misschien niet het makkelijkste klusje haha. Start met iets simpels, kijk video's op TH-cam hoe je iets aan pakt. Bijvoorbeeld de video's van MC garage.
@@twowheels90 raad je aan bijv het vervangen van luchtfilters en bougies en de synchronisatie van de luchtkleppen? Heb hier videos van gekeken en het ziet er een heel stuk makkelijker uit dan idd de valve clearances. Toevallig heb ik een oom met eigen garage en daar kan ik hobbyklussen.
@@shapelessdreams ja het vervangen van de bougies en het luchtfilter zijn mooie klussen als je nog niet mega veel ervaring hebt. Er is voor een MT 07 ook een haynes manual te koop. Dat is wel een aanrader! Staan veel tips in. Synchroniseren van de gasklephuizen is wel te doen, maar de eerste keer ook een ervaring haha. Je oom kan je vast helpen. Succes!
I’m still old school with the plugs out and long zip ties in to double check tdc
thanks for the video,
have you changed the gasket of the valve cover or reused the old one ?
I reused it, I believe its a reusable rubber gasket
@@twowheels90 Thank you for your feedback !
Great video, thank you.
How many kilometres did you have on the bike when you did this inspection?
Around 42.000 kms
Do the valves get looser or tighter as they wear?
They dont wear, they expand
If the valve seats wear they will get tighter.
Doe je dit ook tegen vergoeding?
Welke omgeving woon je?
@@twowheels90 omgeving Rotterdam
After how many kms valve clearance is necessary for Yamaha bikes?
On the MT-07 engine Yamaha schedules valve check every 40.000km. But I have checked mine at 20.000km and found one exhaust valve completely off.
Hi @@2lbsTrigrPull, may I ask why you did the check at only half the required milage? Did you notice power loose or noise?
@@RavingDrifter Nah, I was just curious what the clearances are and because I made a spark plug/air filter change I've gone the extra mile to check and adjust the valves and now I'm happy that I did. I did not notice any huge power loss or something similar. But when you already stripped the bike to the bone why not doing that too? I will check my engine at 40k km again and if the clearances don't change much, I will leave it alone till it hits 80k km and then check again. Some maintenance schedules are over the top like changing the brake system seals every two years or the brake lines every four. That's unnecessary. But first valve check at 40k km is a little stretched in my opinion and I'm not hard to that bike either.
@@2lbsTrigrPull I see, thanks. Shortly after I got my used MT-07 I found the hydraulic lifter noise is very loud. People said it's normal but I wonder why not every MT-07s sound like mine. That's why I watch this video and searching for information about valve clearance and chain tensioner. Thanks again for replying!
@@RavingDrifter What do you mean by "hydraulic lifter"? What part of the engine makes the noise that you find not normal?
Don't touch it. Even 0.22 is good and it is unnecessary to change it. It looks perfect all of your valves.
too complicated for me :D
I was going to buy a brand-new Yamaha MT 07 this September 2020 just watching you I've scrapped the idea I will not be buying a new bike Yamaha as just lost a customer.
I like to do my own maintenance but what I don't like is bad design work through incompetent design practices, that try to make more money out of servicing a bike than buying it. because that's what the design is about today, you don't just sell the product you have a long-term income from it through servicing because you've made the servicing so complicated that people have to take it to the local Yamaha dealer.
I will not buy into that con. so I'm staying with my old bike with its lock and nut tappets design. it's more people friendly. but I'd like to thank you very much for pointing this out to people like me so we can avoid this hassle and save money at the same time.
I feel your pain, owning a older bike can have it's upsides! However I believe that this style of valve lift with buckets is used by most of the new bikes...
Does have performance and reliability advantages over the old style.
@@twowheels90 I have been riding since 1972 and I have never found any drawbacks in riding old motorbikes.
they are easy to fix easy to maintain and great fun to ride.
if I went riding with my mates and one of the bikes broke down 99.9% of the time we could fix it by the side of the road and carry on enjoying our day, you can't do that with modern bikes.
you can't even get near the spark plug on modern bikes.
with modern technology they could have made them even better instead companies when the easier route with overcomplicated engines. so they can make money not only by selling it but by maintaining it.
because that's the bottom line making motorbikes unmaintainable by the rider.
If BMW and Ducati can make air cooled motorbikes that past EURO 5 then why can't the massive Japanese to the same.?
Even Harley-Davidson are still making air cooled bikes.
It's all one big con and the biking general public have brought into it.
Try thr nc750s...ok boring and 50% less power than mt07 but very easy to adjust valves. Just remove radiator, valve cover and adjust by locknut...my scooter you just take one plastic cover very easily, remove valve cover and slide the rocker arms to change the shim. A lot easier than this modern bikes. Also, brands dont expect customers to do valve checks. Before reaching 42k most customera are selling the bike and even if not checked, i dont believe the engine will dye before 100000km...
It's a once per 40.000km interval. On many Honda bikes for example with screw adjustment it is once at 1000km, then at every 12k km. I would rather do this once than do it 4 times on a Honda. But if you want easy valve clearance adjustment buy a Honda NC700/NC750. Everything is super easily accessible and it can be done in 30 minutes.
There's a balance point somewhere when it comes to good power, fuel economy, etc... where they use pucks in buckets rather than threaded tappet adjusters. I get not wanting to own something complicated, but this doesn't seem THAT complicated. It's the same story as a Triumph Bonneville engine. Plugs are buried in the heads and you have to pull the cams to shim. My W650 is similar, but the tappets are on springs and you push them sideways to get at the pucks which is cool. But yeah, it's not a Honda CB350 from the early 70s, for sure... I'm willing to put up with the complication here in the name of power and fun. The design is complicated because you're getting 55mpg, 75 horsepower, and reliability. You'd hate owning a Ducati with 7500 mile timing belt and desmodromic valve adjustment intervals ;)
Jij bent sws nederlands haha
Misschien 😂
twowheels hahah ik hoor dat meteen!😂👌🏽
Just throw the bike away if this happens 😂😂😂😂😂
