I have z800 with around 28k miles. Performed valve checks last week for the first time and everything was spot on just like yours. No adjustment needed. Put everthing back on with new ngk plugs. Good to go.
Not quite sure how you measured this as from what I understand the 1T or 2T marking with a vertical line is the one you should be viewing for TDC you have the markings with a horizontal line in the viewing window (4:47) which makes the cam lobes sit at off angles (7:02), they should be opposite and facing away from each other (45 degrees). How did you measure your clearances if not at TDC ?
Just wanted to thank you for making this video. Ran into an issue aligning the cams and the crank and your video gave me what I needed to get it right. '12 Ninja 650
Why couldn't they design this thing with removable shims like everybody else ? That's bullshit having to remove the cams. I haven't seen anything like this since a '54 Jaguar xk 120.....
On motors that are made to rev over 10k rpm on a regular basis, they're made with shims under the bucket instead of on top. Harder to adjust, but no wear on the shims from rubbing on the cam & no way to spit out a shim at 12k rpm! Of course you'd never rev it over 10k, right?
@@kz1300club Nope....that pretty much covers it. I just inherited an '07 650R from my son and with all that plastic I'm just going to pretend that they're hydraulic.....

I've got a red 08 Versys with about the same miles. Love it. Thanks for making how to videos on this bike. Very helpful.
well, this vid is wrong. Wrong mark shown used to time it
Sen tam bir ustasın sana tebrik ederim
Great camera work. Thank you!
Thanks, this helps me do my Versys soon!
My bike 2009 kawasaki versys kle 650 has been having ticking noise. I am trying to find out what wrong with it. Please tell me if you can. Thank you.
Thanks 😊
Great video.
Thanks for sharing.
Ce n'est pas bon. Vous confondez les marques 2IT et 2/T. 2IT c'est pour le contrôle, 2/T c'est pour déposer les arbres à cames.
Try getting that cover off when you have abs lines 😣

@@kz1300club ...So the shim is under the bucket and the bucket must be removed to access it ?
@@bufallobiff Right, & to remove the bucket you pull the cams. Wasn't that your complaint or did I miss something?

Never put paper towels inside of your Throttle Bodies or your Spark Plug Holes. Just cover the holes with clean rags
Why ?
