Geez man, that was fantastic! Adjusting valves seemed like rocket science to me and doing math is not happening, but I can actually do this! Great job!
Thanks for the video. I bought my 700 KFX with a dead battery but the guy got it started after a jumping it and cranking it over several times. Well, long story short it turned it is was a hard starter because someone made the valves to tight so every time it would come up to the compression stroke it would puff out the carb so it meant the valve was still open during the compression stroke so I went about setting the valves and after completion it fired up with hardly any effort at all so anyone having hard starting issues and when cranking it over there is a mist coming out of the carb while turning it over your dealing with valves that are over tightened. Hope my experience can help someone else.
Preciate the vid Camo. Im a DIY'er and I dont kno everything about engines. I understand the what and the how of the valve adjustment, but whats the why?
KFX 700 TWIN ATV SERVICE MANUAL SPECS. (all carb. units ) turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a wrench on the alternator rotor bolt until “T-R” mark on the alternator rotor aligns with the notch on housing ( screw plug hole ) the end of the compression stroke in the rear cylinder head. • Measure the clearance for all four valves, one at a time between the end of the valve stem and the adjusting screw with the thickness gauge. Valve Clearance (when cold) Exhaust: 0.20 ~ 0.25 mm (0.0079 ~ 0.0098 in.)
That's how I have been doing valve adjustments for 45 yrs don't need timing marks valves are open on I &E closed on COMP & Power always repeating I C * P E with adjustment being done on cam base Dia try to adjust between Comp and Power stroke for that cylinder. at * pt.

Great video and great job explaining exactly what happens.

Very nice Video..Damn Good explanation with visuals...Thx
You can also help yourself and watch the position of camshaft throught valve cover, good old no bullshit video :)
Is the specs the same for the 840cc motor kit?
Got a good part number for a crank sensor?
I also have a kawasaki brute force 750i what dimensions should I use to adjust the valves?
nice video, thanks for taking the time to do this
How do you get to front valves in the kfx 700 in the quad cause there is a hard water line right in center of cover
You can’t be 180 off with this method right?
Great video I like the fact that you don't use the timing marks, I find it almost impossible to see the marks down in the hole there in.
Mine won't turn all the way, it feels like it locks up

can you do this while the motor is installed in the atv ?
KFX 700 TWIN ATV SERVICE MANUAL SPECS. (all carb. units )
turn the crankshaft counterclockwise with a
wrench on the alternator rotor bolt until “T-R” mark on
the alternator rotor aligns with the notch on housing ( screw plug hole )
the end of the compression stroke in the rear cylinder
head.
• Measure the clearance for all four valves, one at a time
between the end of the valve stem and the adjusting
screw with the thickness gauge.
Valve Clearance (when cold)
Exhaust: 0.20 ~ 0.25 mm (0.0079 ~ 0.0098 in.)
Mine just all of a sudden started to not start. Has fire fuel and air it just turns over n over want crank since yesterday
Great video. thanks
Great video!
Hello, do you happen to know what the valve clearance should be with a Kawi FD731V-BS07? 006? Thank you for the vids! Stan
Ever figure out your valve clearance 😅
That's how I have been doing valve adjustments for 45 yrs don't need timing marks valves are open on I &E closed on COMP & Power always repeating I C * P E with adjustment being done on cam base Dia try to adjust between Comp and Power stroke for that cylinder. at * pt.
Tried this and exhaust loosens but both intakes will not
How did you fixed I’m having this problem to, the exhaust open but not the intake valves 😭
Just used this method very nice vid well done eh ..NB here
why not use the timming marks in the case
because they are on the cover..
well done!
