2011 x31 valve adjustment
I bought a 2011 gio x31 250. It is the overhead cam motor. Has anybody ever done a valve adjustment on this bike? What are the specs?
Thanks |

You can certainly search for XR200R valve adjustment specs and procedure. That will do nicely.

Won't the specs and procedure be different as it is a different motor?

It's a virtual clone of the XR200R. In fact, it's even closer to a CRF230, because it has electric start.
Doesn't really matter, because the engine doesn't know what name is on the outside. It boils down to the same procedure: find TDC on the compression stroke, set the valves to spec and have a nice day. The valve clearance specs you find for an XR200R will be just fine.

That's exactly the procedure for my '96 XR250R, except I don't have the fancy tool; I use small Vise Grips (very gently).

Good to know because I didn't really want to drop 50 bucks on that tool for the amount I would use it.

I had a quick look online for a cheap version of that tool, but haven't found one yet. Maybe Tusk makes one.
