Looking to do a valve check, wondering if anyone has the scans.

I have 2003 with 45 hours and 200 miles currently, when I turn the idle down low I get a tick, is that the valves or somthing else?

Thanks!

 

45 hours and 200 miles?? You like idling for months at a time Plainsman?[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] That averages out to about 4 miles per hour. You scared of that big V-twin big guy??!? HAHA!! Sounds to me like it needs a valve adjustment. Not really much to it but a service manual is the ticket. I know you were looking for one in pdf but I have no clue where to find one. If my scanner works right, I could probably scan the valve adjust section and email it to you. My manual is for a 2002 but it should be the same shouldn't it?

 

So if you turn the idle way down and you hear a tick then its in need, arg. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]

I take its not too terribly bad to do the adjustment?

Thanks Master.

 

nope it is really quite easy. here this should help

Valve Adjustment

 

Thanks man, I did see that but Im kind of a picture guy. I do have a KFX shop manual in PDF, that seems to help.

However, I called the local AcrticCat dealer (same engine) they said all those 650s tick too if you turn the idle down too far. So at this point I think Im not going to screw with it.

According to MasterBlaster I need to get some more miles on it [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
