2008 Honda TRX 250 valve adjustment

[@trumps-a-hoe]

Great video, I have the same make/model and your vid helped me a lot setting my clearances but when I started my bike she had issues throttling up. If I feathered the throttle it was fine but if I stabbed it she bogged and died. She didnt have any carb issues before and I'm stumped lol

[@Bardy80]

Once you had the valves adjusted did you take the wrench off and let it rotate past TDC or how did you start it without it leaving TDC

[@laughingstill]

Spun it over past and fired

[@Bardy80]

@@laughingstill so you just pulled the wrench off then started it

[@laughingstill]

Yes, if you look at my other video you will see it running…without the wrench

[@laughingstill]

I google searched the manual and found a free downloadable manual and found the specs there. It was a while ago and I don’t remember them off the top of my head, sorry...

[@devendrago9634]

Do you know the torque specs. for the valve lock nut ,and cover nut ?

[@lelandwallace3592]

What is it supposed to be set to

[@laughingstill]

What are you referring to?

[@jordananderson8299]

The crankshaft on mine turns and I have compression but the valves aren't

[@jaredmercer7043]

I had one drop a push rod same symptom

[@jamestennimon9974]

The engine should stay TDC with the spark plug removed

[@laughingstill]

I don’t understand what you are meaning. Can you explain?

[@laughingstill]

Nevermind, I understand now. Thanks for the advice!!

[@nemesis83100]

Did you leave your sparkplug in when you did this??

[@laughingstill]

nemesis83100 yes I did

[@nemesis83100]

laughingstill thanks for the reply im about to do this to mine soon because im not paying honda house 300$ to do it..

[@laughingstill]

nemesis83100 yeah, it is really easy. Not worth a mechanic doing it for sure..
