- In this video, I show you how to adjust the valve clearance on the front cylinder of an XV1100 Virago. I check the exhaust valves a few times, but I also did the same with the intake one, just not in the video otherwise it would be just too long. Basically do the same amount of checking what I did on the exhaust valve. Turn the engine around a few times and re-check...
Check books for clearance values 0:16
What tools needed 1:39
Checking clearance first 2:05
Loosening up the intake valve adjuster 2:56
Quick check after first adjustment 4:00
Tight up the lock nut 5:10
Checking the exhaust valve clearance first time 7:27
Loosening up the exhaust valve adjuster 8:18
Turning engine over to re check the clearance 9:15
2nd adjustment on the exhaust valve 9:51
Checking the clearance after 2nd adjustment 10:29
Last time checking the clearance after the 2nd engine turn over 11:07
Torque the nut to 27NM 11:53
Final check on exhaust valve 12:21

I just want to say thank you for making these videos. There's not too many videos regarding the virago 1100 and you do an awesome job. I appreciate it!
Thank you very much... I know there aren't many around and most of them are quite bad quality... I'm glad you find my channel useful 😉👍
Amazing video. Clear to the point. Good lighting and view. Thanks so much!
You are the savior when it comes to the restoration of my virago 1100
thanks again for clearing up my concerns. truly appreciate your expertise
You're very welcome, I'm glad you found it useful 😉
Oké ! Super precise job! The "iron" will work perfectly .
😁😁🔧🔧 Köszi szépen Öreg.
absolut Perfekt!!! Dankeschön!
Thank you. I'm glad you found it helpful... Gern geschehen 😉
Thank you for your video!
Great, informative video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this tutorial
I let you know the result !
Thank you very much for your videos, especially those of the Virago 1100. Do you remember what size Viton o-rings you used?
Hermosa maquina el virago!!!
Gracias mi amigo😉
Muy bueno! Gracias
Hello, great video i have a 1100 as well thanks
Thanks
Hi thanks for this - very good
Just couple of questions
When you do the valve clearances on the rear cylinder do you have to rotate engine to TDC again separate to front cylinder so each time you have to rotate engine clockwise to TDC before adjusting clearances
Thanks
Basically yes. You set the rear to TDC and adjust both valves, then turn the engine around a few times and set the rear again to TDC to double check the clearances.
Then set the front to TDC adjust the valves and do the same double check. You can't set both cylinder (all 4 valves) at the same time
Hi, Great video tutorial. Just a quick question - is it normal that rocker arms has some play side to side as I see in your video?
Hi, thank you. Yes the play, as long as it isn't excessive, it's fine. It really is a small movement though.
Hey mate ive bought a 2002 v star 1100 and its got a aftermarket lowering adjustable pivet links do you know the factory height ? And where do i measure from its to low im concearned about adjustment due to the shaft drive can you help regards scott 🤗
Hello, unfortunately I'm not familiar with the V-star or it's monoshock setup. If you are worried that the shaft drive is affected but you'd be fine with the standard height then just buy an original second hand set from ebay, or new whichever fits the budget. Sorry but I'm not much of a help with this
My Mate Nate did a great job again! Just posted your link on a Viagra website where somebody thought he'd have to remove the engine or the carbs. Gosh.
Hi Michael... I hope it's not a Viagra website 😂😂🤣 where you shared it... Anyway thank you. I'm trying to make my videos, so anyone can follow it and do the job, hopefully he will be able to as well😉👍
@@MidlandCruiser I get it! Cheap Viagras for you when you buy more than 100! You'll get ten for free if you pay for 110! LOl
Nice tutorial. One thing I saw that bothers me, when doing valves like this I always use the boxed end of the wrench. If that open end slips off, you can find yourself with a lock nut that has rounded corners.
Thank you, and yes I agree I should have used the the ring end, I don't know to be honest why I didn't, but you're right 👍
@@MidlandCruiser He's only jealous that he hasn't got such nice tools to play with.
@@sisaketmike 😁it's fine, I don't mind constructive criticism 👍
Great tutorial! Just a quick question. Is it better to do it with hot or cold engine? Does it matter? Thanks!
Hello. Yes it is important. Try to do it around 20C (ambient temperature) which is the industry standard and considered as a base line. Basically next day after a ride from April to October on the Northern hemisphere will be fine... it doesn't has to be exactly 20C. Hope this helps
@@MidlandCruiser Yes, totally. Thanks for the fast answer! So I'll wait since I'm just back from a 1h ride and I think I was hearing it clicking. Want to look at them but it's very hot here these days. Around 32c and feeling 40c with humidity. Not very funny to work on the bike outside anyways, so I'll wait for the weekend.
Hi,
Do you perhaps know what is the torque settings on the cylinderheads for the yamaha virago xv1100 1998 model?
Hi. Not from the top of my head, sorry. There are different bolts on the heqd with different values. If you join the Virago nation Facebook group you can download in the files section everything you need, manuals, fixes, tutorials etc..
First time doing valves on my 750 virago. Must I drain the oil before I can take off the left side cover to rotate to TDC?
No you don't need to drain the oil..just remove the ring cover to get to the crankshaft bolt check it here when I do it
Skip to 3.15, timestamp in the description

👍
You only have to remove the round cover, held by three screws. Then you'll see the plastic nut that you must take out as well. Do not try to turn the engine with the plastic nut, it only covers the one you need to turn the engine...clockwise.
Great Video as per usual mate :) I use the old adage of .004 slides/ .005 sticks on intake & .006 slides/ .007 sticks on exhaust. (thank "Mike Miller" for that one) anyway, I'm looking forward to your next episode :)
Thank you. I was actually thinking about getting an imperial feeler gauge set.. Yeah I know Mike from the Facebook group, quite surprised actually he didn't comment on any of my videos or posts... Must be doing it right then🤣🤣🤣
Can i adjusting only front cylinder and ride the bike or should adjusting the tow cylinder?
Always adjust both cylinder my friend, the only reason it's not in the video because it is impossible to record anything on the rear cylinder, the way you can actually see what I'm doing, that's why I only recorded the front, the rear is the same way just set the flywheel to the "T" mark and check the camshaft to make sure you are on TDC then do everything the same as on the front and you are good to go...hope it makes sense..
@@MidlandCruiser ok sir thank you so much
Is the clearance at BDC meant to be zero? Mag seem a silly question
I'll be honest with you, I have never checked it so I can't tell, sorry. What really matters is that it's right on TDC and then whatever it needs to be on BDC it will be.
On the 1100, do the valves tighten up, or loosen up?
That is a good question...I check every year before season and found it going ever so slightly bigger...minimal though. Could be caused by wear on the bolt🤷♂️ not sure. Hope this helps a little
@@MidlandCruiser Thanks buddy. 🙂 Keep up the good work
Might be old question but how do you find tdc before adjusting
Sorry posted right before the end
It is a valid question... I show this in my camshaft removal video from 8;25
I probably should have included it in this one too... Sorry here is a link to it
th-cam.com/video/7rC0eWzGa4w/w-d-xo.html
No problem at all love the videos very clear on instructions!! Keep it up !!
Did you have to drain the oil to do this?
No mate, just pop the covers off as you see it in the video and you are good to go. Few drips will come out from the exhaust valve caps but don't worry about it.
@@MidlandCruiser Wonderful! Thank you!
Again, an outstanding job. I'm wondering why you don't give such jobs to your twin brother? (kidding). Keep the throttle wide open and enjoy life to the fullest, mate!
😁Thank you..will do, hopefully this weekend the weather will be nice so I can finally go for a decent ride🤞🤞
Glad you liked the video
Is it the same process for 750 Virago?
Hi, yes the steps are the same but might be different values, for the actual clerance.. I can't remember
@@MidlandCruiser Oh Im so blind. You had the manual open at the start of the video and the values are the same. Thanks for your answer now Im confident checkin my clearance. Great channel.
Well spotted 😁 I was focusing on the 1100 didn't even see the 750 was there too 👍
Эх с переводом бы, очень интересно
ฉันไม่เข้าใจคำ
Forget to show how to set it on top dead center
How much would you charge to do this
Morning. Only for the valves would be £55 including the 6 new Viton o-rings. If you are interested, and/or would like to do some other bits, please send me an email to midlandcruiser@gmail.com
Thank you
@@MidlandCruiser Would you please come over and do mine? That's cheap including flight and quarantine! LOl
@@sisaketmike 🤣👍
how many people done like him and didnt check if they were on intake or exausth compression first lollll
Hi this video is part of a series and this one didn't include the TDC setting (I should have included) you can find it here starts from 8.25
th-cam.com/video/7rC0eWzGa4w/w-d-xo.html
Also not sure what you mean "intake or exhaust compression" I think you meant Top dead center or Bottom dead centre?
Didn't even bother going over timing marks
