G'day...

Quite new to this site... and find it very infomative. I have looked throughout the forums to find if this question has been asked in the past and have had no luck...

So here it goes:
I need to do a valve adjustment on my bike (ticking like crazy) and was wondering if anybody could provide me some specs for the adjustments?

Any info or tips would be so appreciated...

Thanks!

 

I'm a little surprised that nobody has this information or is willing to provide?? Just looking for some help please... any info would be great!

 

I didn't reply because I wasn't 100% sure what you have ... Is the bike a 2000 TRX250 Recon ..?

 

If it's a Recon your asking about the the valve specs on my 2001 are .005
intake and exhaust.

 

Thanks for the reply guys, yes it's a 2000 TRX250 Recon...

So the Valve Specs are the same for the 2000 and 2001 Recon?

My appologies for the push, just a little frustrated with how the valves are sounding, had to miss a ride over the weekend...

Also, getting a grinding sound from the rear... it's not all the time but it's there... I'm guessing that I need to change the bearings in the rear now as well... is this a common maintanance practice?

I first thought it was the u-joint, but i think the sound is coming form the diff, I draind the diff oil and inspected the gear from the top, didn't see anything abnormal... is there a bearing where the driveshaft connects to the diff?

Would appreciate any recommendations (other than "get the book" lol)...

Thanks a bunch!!!

Yep, the valve spec's are the same. I just did mine this weekend, they were clickling like a geiger counter, quiet as a mouse now. i don't know anything about your other problem, know you don't want to hear it but a clymer manual is a cheap investment.
Good luck!

 

I kinda figured that Clymer's was inevitable...

Thank you very much for the info, and apprecaite the time!
I'll let you know how things turn out
