    The Exhaust valves are at the front & inlet at the rear, not that it makes any difference if you've set them all to the same clearance but most people set the exhaust 0.02mm larger than what the inlet clearance is set to

      Whats the reason behind setting the exhaust valves with a larger gap?

    • @toadinthehole8085
      @toadinthehole8085 3 роки тому +6

      @@urmomsahoe1 because that side of the engine runs hotter with the hot gases leaving the cylinder through the valves but on the opposite side of the head the intake is treated to nice cool fresh air with a shower of cooling petrol for the intake valves to bask in. Less metal expansion so the clearance can be a little closer without any valve bounce occuring.

    Second time using this tutorial to do my own bike so thanks for that. Point to note, the spark plugs can be taken out using the same socket on each side, with the exception that the right hand side has a sleeve held in with a circlip. It is the circlip that obstructs the socket going in. You can carefull use proper circlip pliers to remove the circlip and get the spark plug out. Just be sure to get the circlip back in and seated properly on reassembly.

    Thank you for the great video… Was extremely helpful. I will add a couple of things that I found through my experience, 1: you don’t need to remove the spark plugs. I was able to get everything lined up no problem without doing that. And 2 I set them right in the middle of the range at .09 mm… and had no problem locking the bolt back down if I left the feeler gauge in place while tightening the locknut. Doing that maintains the gap and does not bite down on the gauge too hard….it doesn’t get stuck in there. My $0.02 👍🏽

    • @KrakensGarageandAdventures

    Eric how often do you find yourself needing to adjust the valves? Think mine already worked themselves out of adjustment… started it up today and pulled it out of my driveway and it died with the clutch in. same story at the stop sign up the road, but once warm it was fine. thinking it already worked itself out of adjustment from less than 3 months ago and less than 400 miles since. 😢 does that sound like yours too?

    • @KrakensGarageandAdventures
      @KrakensGarageandAdventures  27 днів тому +1

      @KaylaKent of you adjusted the valves properly. There is no reason they need adjusted again after 400 miles. Possibly the lock nut to since down the valve came loose. I would pull the talk and valve cover and check. If they seem fine, I would check all the hoses under the gas tank. Many folks have pinched them reinstalling the tank and had issues. Othe culprits may he bad gas, dirty fuel filter, dirty air cleaner. I hope my thoughts point you in the right direction. Good luck.

Intakes were within spec, but one a little on the loose side. So I set it too. Runs like new again.

    Excellent video Eric, showing people how to do a little “bit of voodoo” that most are gun shy to try.
    I make that “special tool” with a square headed wood screw and a piece of dowel. The square is a 3mm square drive very common at most home centers. My personal one I have wrapped in heat shrink for a bit of added grip on the wood dowel. I then use an open ended wrench to lock the lock nut.

    • @KrakensGarageandAdventures
      @KrakensGarageandAdventures  Рік тому

      There's a few things to check. It very easy to pinch one of the breather hoses reinstalling the gas tank. Remove and carefully reinstall. Check your fuel filter to see if it's congested. It might be starving it of fuel. Lastly, check the valves. Were they checked and adjusted at 600 to 1000 miles? If they're off, this too will cause issues. I hope my thoughts help.

  • @MostlyInteresting
    @MostlyInteresting 3 роки тому +2

    Square sockets are available and in most comprehensive sets. To hold the screw while you use a wrench to snug the nut. Also you can skip the timing mark check since you can see the cam position on this one. Just put the cam lobe opposite the rocker and you will be good to adjust. Always check what the existing clearance is before you start. IT might be fine, OR it might have closed up. Which is bad.

      - Valve lock nuts - 7 N.m
      - There were no torque values in the manual for the valve cover. It has a rubber gasket, so tighten till snug evenly, then give another 1/2 turn on each bolt. Don't over tighten.

    Hello Kraken! I bought a Benelli TNT 135 this week, mainly for my wife to enjoy. I rode it before I bought it, but when I got home it feels different.
    When I ride at high speeds 30-50 mph, there is a weird 1-2 second vibration, almost wobble in the entire bike. Can't isolate the problem.
    Bike has 900 miles on it and I am not sure what services have been done on this bike.
    But what are some things I should be looking for when I am trying to solve the problem? Thank you in advance

    • @KrakensGarageandAdventures
      @KrakensGarageandAdventures  2 роки тому +2

      Many have had this issue with their bikes. If you bought it new, take it back to the dealer. Just know they're going to try and blow you off. 99% of the time the culprit has been poor quality Cordial tires that are so bad you can hardly balance them with weights. Ask the dealer to replace the tires, due to the shaking the bike in unsafe to ride. Good luck sir and congratulations to your wife. It really is a darn good bike for the money. Let me know if I can help. Eric

      xee, I'm not entirely sure on the TnT 150i as it is a totally different bike. On the TnT 135 with the T1 mark the intake valves should just barely be touching enough to get the feeler gauge to slide through. Look at the service manual that has been updated and go to Page 61 I believe. I hope this helps. www.dropbox.com/s/f1x8ka1giue9xos/TNT%20125%20E4%20Workshop%20Manual%20%281%29.pdf?dl=0
