Good instructional video on adjusting the valves. One thing I noticed that may be beneficial; When tightening the adjusters, use the boxed end of the wrench. The open end can slip and round off the locking nut. I tend to set my valves on the loose side of the adjustment span, especially the exhaust side ones.
I mentioned it in the body of the description - unfortunately that part of my video wasn't included in the final edit. Boxed end wrenches are definitely the best way to get the final torque on those lock nuts. Thanks for mentioning that.
Hi I lake yor video for the adjustment in valves and I noticed that the Ais sistem is gone .I meen you modify. Can you make a video go little more detail fo this modification
Thanks Ken, you're videos are thorough. I guess the area you are working in has to be room temperature? It's still cold up here in Edmonton, but I still have the carbs off so I need to get a bit creative and put a heater in the garage.
Thanks Rob...maybe a bit too thorough...hahaha! I could probably pare this down to about 15 minutes but it's actually one of my first videos. I'm still learning content creation for dummies. Never thought about how cold the valves could be - but I guess comfort is important too. The manual (and general practice as a rule) says you just don't do them when the engine is hot but I've never thought about when it could be too cold. I've been lucky - my well-insulated garage is a two deep tandem + so I have a 240V heater that I use at one end during the winter. I guess if you built a shelter or just created some kind of partition it would help keep the heat from any heater contained. I've never personally used a portable propane radiant heater, but I've heard people swear by them.

Hi Christo - I did not modify the bike. This year 1984 in Canada did not come with AIS installed.
Great Video!
Thanks! I know it's long but it was one of my first ones.

Great videos Im learning alot thank you
Thanks! Really appreciate that.
Very helpful thanks
a bit of ocd ?
A lot of OCD...did you see the aluminum polishing and the decals? 😁 All kidding aside, this was one of my first cracks at making YT videos.
Very good, I've learned 👍👍👍
Glad it was helpful!
