Spud, congrats on the 25k miles.
Have your valve clearances "settled in" yet? jb

I repaired my engine this winter, under warranty coverage. I plan to post a thread on this topic, and my engine repair, in the next week. My engine has been running well for about 3,000 miles after the repair. In the near future I will recheck my valve clearances.

I know this is not the place but when you post the new thread , please explain receding in valve seats and which are intake valves etc. And your idea of why it happened. Like I said don't bother here. But always want to learn all I can
This is something to pay attention if I'm am going to be a future 450zong owner Ty spud

In the photograph above, the intake valves are the larger valves. An experienced eye will notice the intake valves have sunken (receded) into the cylinder head farther than the smaller, exhaust valves.

Very cool Spud, I take it the bike was still running OK, just not able to keep the valve adj in speck? Was it dying on you when coming to a stop like the characteristic "too small of valve gap " does? Transmission, clutch, cylinder , piston and rings all still good to go? rj

800 miles. Stalling when coasting to a stop between miles 250-300 but went away when I added the proper amount of recommended fuel additive at every fill up. Been good since. I also wrapped some metallic heat shield tape under the exhaust clamp to keep my right pant leg from getting singed
Other than that I'm surprised how it gets me and my pug chug to my off-road destination safely, I can beat it to hell, and it happily takes me back home. Nice solid build. |
