valve

So I replaced my fork seals (93) according to my Haynes manual, and it seems they dont want to hold air pressure now. I removed my dust caps and a bit of fluid was on top of the fork. It could be the upper o-ring also, but is it a common problem to have the air valves leak? Also is there a way...

Can anyone give me a ballpark price for a typical service charge on a valve adjustment? I am in need of one and I was wondering what it is going to run me. Mike

Just doing a valve adjustment on my 1997 Max. Looking thru the small hole covered by a slotted screw on the left side just in front of the crankcase cover. I have rotated the flywheel at least 10 times and there are no T1, T2 or any marks of any kind on the flywheel. There is a pointer, just no...

Another question about my '85 Max. When it warms up it definitely has some noise from the valvetrain. Very minor, but steady, ticking. Bike has 24,500 miles and I do not know if it has had an adjustment, so I do plan on getting that done once I find a competent local mechanic. It also may be a...

I broke a valve cover bolt while putting my front valve cover back on. So my question is? If I take that cam shaft cap off and take out the broken bolt? Do I need to loosen all the cam shaft cap bolts and re torque them is a criss cross pattern? Or is it ok to just re torque that one cam shaft...

They are interchangable for all years, correct? Also the bolt grommets, interchangable ? Thanks

A forum user asked me a question about the rad valve that I'm not sure about, hopefully someone here can help him. thanks mate, is the drain valve a threaded bolt sort ov thing? or is it just a push in thing? also....u no that small grub screw at the side!! I think ya have to undo its a bit...

anyone know of a good source for the bolts. Mine need replacing as I change the gasket. I'll be taking off the rear and from what I read I will not need to drain coolant or anything. someone on the yahoo tech group mentions removing the charcoal canister .... what the heck is that? I hate...

Looking for a quality Supplier for Race Tech Gold Valve Cartridge Emulators. Suggestions Please. What price is a good price?

Anyone know anything that may be causing my valve covers to leak? First it was the front now the rear one is leaking. I checked the bolts they are tight. The front started about 10,000 miles and now the rear is leaking at 16,000. Is there a vent tube somewhere that may be clogged up, that could...

can the rear be replaced without pulling a ton of shit off? This is my winter project (along with new exhaust gaskets)

Do you HAVE to drain all the anti freeze from the --coolant tank--radiator--water pump--and cylinder blocks, to remove the valve covers???. Thanks.

Has anyone here adjusted the valves without the yamaha tool with the motor in the frame? I have a tight exhaust clearance causing a partially dead cylinder, and do not have the tool at this time. I have not seen this tool yet so I would like to know if ne1 has one and how it works. If I knew...

OK, I have a question... On the little water manifold underneath the radiator there is a little hex headed plastic valve that is called the drain valve...I think it changes the way water circulates depending on the position it is in. The manual tells about it and it's uses but doesn't tell...

Adjusting the valves; Couple of question to those that have done it.... Can you read the numbers on the shims without using the valve depressor tool. Reason I ask is I would like to pull the covers and take my measurements and then go looking for the shims I need while I find/buy a valve...
