alright so heres the deal. the Predator is a DOHC liquid cooled engine that uses shim and buckets to set valve clearances. if your clearances are too tight or too loose your performance will suffer.

adjusting the valves is NOT as hard as some may think. i will do my best to walk y'all through it. i would also like to thank preddy08, polarisbob, THE_PREDATOR, and the rest of the predatorowners crew for helping me out. also check out preddy08's walkthrough on www.predatorowners.com i am basing my write up on his.


so first step, clean your quad! make sure areas around the engine are pretty good looking. now, make sure you have a good work area for you quad. next, i would highly reccomend a table to set parts on as you will be removing alot of items.

next, remove the gas tank, front fenders, and exhaust system. i reccomend using paper bags to place the specific nuts and bolts in so when you put your quad back together, it will be easier to find everything. label these bas as well.
