This rebuild series is perfect. You can see that jake is putting a lot of efort in it. Explaining all the stuff really easy and understandable, and there is always something funny in the videos. Aand they have they are not to long so you can really enjoy them. Keep up the nice work. Sry if I spelled something wrong english isnt my main language.
The first motovlogger who ive seen that actually knows about engines and how they work.
I like your torque specs. “Just put your hand here, and errrrgh”
Today Mr. Snakey shows us how effective his stroke is

Love the build jake
I have literally just been re-watching this series for fun because im waiting for parts for my sumo. Im living vicariously through jake lol
Anybody else find this Super helpful?! I thought this was awesome video jake
Remember you don't need to stab them in, you sliiiiiide them in. Destroying them feelers makes me hurt.
That’s what my wife says too
@@TheGardenSnake i'm stroking my 20 year old gauge set right now. Jake will never hurt you buddy. I'm used to using .020 and .040 tolerances though, bit easier to keep alive!
Been doing adjustments for decades- and you've done a grand job of explaining it. Most people miss the locknut tightening effects.
Love how you explained. Kudos on the build. Doing mine right now
Jake: *cuts finger*
Also Jake: *”ductape”*
it's a legit fix. :p
I can't believe how useful these are honestly, now i feel like i can tackle any valve job :D
I love the simplicity Honda uses to adjust the valves.
I'm doing this same job tomorrow for my rebuild, nice to see you doing it.
I really enjoy watching these build series videos, gives me a glips of how to maintain my bike properly and most importantly shows me how I could do it myself
so happy this build is back in full swing! WAITED FOR SOOO LONG . keep it up Mr. Snake
really love the build man, its coming along nicely. Keep the awesome content going!!
So excited to see this thing finished
I had an OHV engine in one of my cars once, with it's fun overrun, put it in gear and drop the clutch to switch it off. And the good old CVH engines Ford used to use, they were awesome because they were so easy to strip and rebuild. I had one of the rockers snap clean in half once, how rare must that be.
Cool this series really picked up the pace!🎉🎉🎉
It was nice to see my new coffee mug at the end of the video. I’m looking forward to explaining that to my wife when it arrives.
Can't wait to see the big red pig on the road doing some crazy ass Supermoto wheelies.👍🚲
Excited to see the finished product!
Jake back at it again. Can't wait til it's all back together. It'll be glorious jakels!! Glorious whirlies!!
It’s awesome watching the progress on this bike, no lie this thing is on a be sweet when it’s done!! 🔥🔥
This home is going to be badass... I have a 2018 KTM 690 that I want to supermoto. Watching this build is making me itch to try and do the build now lol Great content
Hell yea cant wait until this bad chickens complete!
This build is gonna be awesome
I wish I had this video a year ago! At least I'm absolutely sure I'm doing it correctly now. My Monster collects dust now that I have a xr650r sumo; excellent build!
Love this series!
That was very informative! thanks Jake!

Jake's been huffing helium again.
Naw man just high on life.
@@ryang1591
You obviously dont understand sarcasm or simple jokes.
Nice tutorial!! Thanks Jake!
How my diesel tech teacher taught us to do a Valve adjustment was by giving us the shortest flat head he had and then he'd have us put the correct feeler gauge in and told us to take the flat head with your index, middle finger, and thumb and tighten it really tight to see what it felt like and then loosen it until it was too loose and then basically snap your fingers. Have been doin it ever since and I've never had a bad adjustment.
Awesome videos. Makes me feel like I might be able to work on a bike myself some day.
This helped me so much! Trying to fix a 92 dr350 and she got a decomp lever but still a bitch to start. Also was nervous about trying this but now im dumb confident that i can do it. Love the channel keep it up
I worked at a dealership some years ago for a short time in parts/service. One of the mechanics there had a highly modified XR650R. He'd put a bigger carb on it with a "pumper" feature that fed the engine with everything he wanted when whacking the throttle. He'd also dyno tuned it. I don't know what horsepower it was putting out but it was pretty stupid quick and the loud pipe sounded amazing under heavy throttle.
Thanks man for making this vid..
That's a nice and simple valve adjustment system.
I was in automotive class at cedar valley. I remember seeing the guys working on motorcycles. Mr. Fant was my teacher. RIP Mr. Fant
When was that? I was at the old building that’s gone now.
@@TheGardenSnake 2005-2007/ 2006-2008? I forget I would have to find my certificate lol
@@TheGardenSnake I was also at the old building. I finished right before they opened the new building.
Thanks Uncle Jake!
Damn.....did I just learn how to save 300 dollars??
a fool an his money are easily departed
@@AridersLifeYT are you saying you're a fool if you dont do your own valve adjustment?
@@AridersLifeYT Bit everyone has the time to do their own maintenance so they take it elsewhere. I do all the stuff on my bikes and even I know that.
Like $50 top to do that job... who TF would charge $300?

Awesome vid Jake, am going to have to do a valve check on my new Beta Alp 4.0 (Suzuki DR350 engine) in a few weeks, so seeing this have made it a lot less daunting (last time I did a valve check was back in 1991 on a Honda CB100N :D
The mechanic of Honda bike wear a Yamaha cap..... happy morning from Malaysia😁
Just stopping by to say hi Jake :-)
Great explanation👍 Nice vid!
Didn't leave your video for a Mighty Car Mods vid... Worth it.
I like that channel
Love you Jake
YOU BETTER... love you too
i love you jake
I'm so jealous of how easy this was compared to my R6 lol! I need to get in on that sumo life BAD
I love you Jake
I like to use 1 or 2 sizes too big on the feeler gauge, tighten the nut, then check with the correct gauge. If you find the right size, it works pretty easily.
Cant wait for this build. There is gonna be some fresh fucking sm ropes in the future.
Thank you man
I have done the newer bucket and shim syle valve adjustments probably 5-10 times and this makes me really wish I had this style. Its so much faster.
Lmao you would put duct tape on your cut. Love you jake!
I love my XR650R
Yes!
Sometimes I wish my ktm had these non-shim adjusters... seems easy and no need to order new shims but realise that every shop is closed due to it is sunday, and you're left on that sunday with out a ride...
Then get a shim box with nearly every shimsize you need
I’ve been there. Waiting till Tuesday when they open to do a shim swap. There some advantages though. Bucket driven normally can rev higher.
That moment you realize a supermoto legend watches Jake theGardenSnake.
Been following you both for awhile, cool to see this interaction.
Braap life!
I was always told the feel your going for is like the drag of a magnet
Insightful!
Wow! That is by far the easiest valve adjustment I've ever seen. Why doesn't every bike manufacturer make these covers above the valves?
Jake, you forgot to say "Click" when torqueing stuff down... its mandatory
Is this gonna become a 20 part build series 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Cool vid... the Cam should be facing down and forward at top dead centre and you can use that nub that points down on the inside on cast on top of casing behind the flywheel cover as a top dead centre mark aswel,,, pumper carb is way to go 😎
Tappets are ace , lovey and simple , not so much a fan of farting around trying to adjust the desmo setup on my ducati ahaha
I’ve never had to do one of those but I’ve seen what’s involved. 😮

hey dad, how much torque do i need here?
oh, you just need a little "erh".
The best way ive learned to feel a feeler gauge is imagine pulling a roll of scotch tape. It should kinda have the resistance
Hey woah that thing looks kind of like a motorcycle
Hell yea!!!!
Why no engine work as part of this build? Should be lots of shops out there willing to sponsor and make the motor better than new.
I mean it’d be cool but it seems wasteful to dig into a motor that dousnt burn oil and runs good with good compression🤷🏽♂️
Time, money, maybe he looked and there wasnt one...
Like they said. Motor showed good compression and I’ve got enough going on with this build already. I’ll see how it runs and maybe that’s something to look at later. If I did build the motor I’d want to keep it reliable so I probably wouldn’t be doing a bunch of crazy stuff. Mainly freshening it up.
@@TheGardenSnake yesterday i watched a video vhere guys rebuilded 4T ktm motor with idealy looking piston and with factory honing marks on cylinder walls, because manual said that..
when I took my 650r apart the compression was great but hard to start the vavles and seats were real worn ended up porting and polishing and sent the head out slapped in a piston while I was in there just food for thought ps they like to burn oil@@TheGardenSnake
Fuck yes cant wait for that thing!!
Ayyy finally
Nice video, definitely confirms that I did my valves right. I had to do 8 on my 454 LTD. It really is all about feel, theirs no way to actually explain it. Will be looking to do my KLR at some point in the future and it should probably be almost identical to this. But how often do you want to clearance check valves?
The Patreon version was heaps better cause it has the part where the phone fell in the engine 😍
Forie O'Hooligan what time in the vid did he drop the phone ???
jack tait at least 6 or 9 minutes in. + or - about 9 or 6 minutes
Forie O'Hooligan cheers dude
Just turn the screw till it touches very gently... then turn it back 1/6th of a turn, or one point on the nut, then crank the nut down... perfect every time.
Nice
There is a pointer on the crank case to line up the mark for TDC:)
9:01 is what mahfs have been searching for!!! Many vids out there yes, but NONE that show this so clearly and with EXACT demonstration of adjustment.Seriously Jake.....ThankZ -SunnyVale Lock
Dam I wish my RM-Z450 was that easy to adjust the valves
Jake you doing a hot cam
Be my engines tech teacher
8:47 you don't neccessarily need to pull the cam. Some bikes allow to use a special tool to compress the valves so you can just take out the shim
Keep it going, nice work 💙
Edit : You are a mechanic, it s that ur profession?
It was at one point
I was always curious how that went on the small older bikes
Hey jakey boy
Hi Jake
just puttin my valve cover back on cause i had to adjust my valve clearances
I did one valve job on my ninja 250, was terrified as I was tearing it down, but I got it done and immediately traded it away incase I completely botched it
I hope I didn't get yours lol.
@@sed8181 03 ninja 250 green, I don't think I botched it because the valve tap completely stopped after adjustment and the bike sounded good, was just worried about long term reliability so I sold it and used that money to buy a 02 honda superhawk 996 with less miles
@@ThomasWilliams-zo7ke good mine is blue.
Just bought an Xr650r a couple weeks ago. What does it mean if I loosened the adjuster screw all the way and the feeler gauge still won’t fit? I can see the spring traveling up and down when I adjust that screw. Bike was running quite well and starting second or third kick.
my motorcycle school always called them screw and lock nut instead of tappet. I think their lock nut was loose
Next up, adjusting the cams on the FZ.. it has overhead cams right?
Yeah I know that using metric and using imperial system is quite an opinion question but I bet that you find metric measurements easier to calculate than imperial ones...
does anyone know the year of the bike and the best place to shop for supermoto parts? shopping for one now, thanks
If the valves are out will it make the bike hard to start from cold ?
When is the paramotor coming out Jake?
Jake with you being a certified mechanic I would hope you know it's a uga-duga not an ernt. Shees they just don't teach you somethings.
Let's play a game of what was that noise! was that the ratchet or Jake's ratchet knee or both!
Feeler gauges are my worst enemy
