Valve Question

[hondaracer_34]

So this is my first time ever adjusting the valves on a 450. Can someone help me out? Ive adjusted valves on my old 400 but i know adjusting the 450 valves are alot different. Maybe this could be a sticky for a walk through on how to? Thanks

i would take it to a dealer for the first time.. is there a warranty still ? i see you live in butler take it to davis cycle.on 422 talk to brian hes the best at that work..

[hondaracer_34]

yeah its still under warranty. I live in IN, lol. My dealer is not a great dealership. When my carrier bearing went out it took them over 5 weeks to put the freakin thing in when it would have taken less than a day to put in when the part came in. The service is horrible.

its shim/ under-bucket, you need the shims to adjust the clearance, they are not tappits like on the 400. the dealer would be the best bet if you've never done it

Well my buddy is gonna show me how to do it. He builds motors and races production A so we will see how it goes lol. Thanks guys
