Can anyone help me out,is it easy to change them,does anyone know of a website i can go see to give me an idea on how it's done,thanks.

 

Anyone?????

 

Sorry, I've got no links. Have you ever removed valves from a car before? If so, its the same, only a special tool, or some inginuity is required above and beyond the norm, due to the springs being in-accessible with a conventional valve spring tool.
If you don't have access to the tools, and haven't done any before, the best thing would be to take the head to a local bike shop and have them do it for you. Won't take them 1/2 hour, and shouldn't cost much at all. Better yet, have some portwork done, and then have the portshop re-assemble with the new springs.

 

Ok 1 dumb question
1: I need to check my valve clearences.. Do I need to remove my head to adjust the clearances??

 

no just the valve cover on top of the engine. it is fairly easy and then a feelers gauge. the shims can be got at a kaw dealer seems they were 29mm

 

Hightower,what kind of portwork should i get done if i only have boltons,i will get my cdi soon to,thanks.

 

Hightower any comments about that porting thing?

 

The only reasons you would need to remove the head from the cylinder is to change valve springs or have protwork done. You can actually change the piston, as well as change cams, without seperating the head from the cylinder. Therefore, if you were thinking of future mods down the road you could save the cost of a head gasket (like around $40 I think) by changing springs and porting at the same time. The level of portwork that you would want to pay for depends on how far you want to take it in the end - but even a stock motor with bolt-ons can benefit from portwork. Its not cheap though - expect to pay over $200 just for mild clean-up of casting burs and matching of the intake to the head. The intake mainfold ports are larger than the head ports, so there is a step the air hits as it flows into the head. Opening the head ports to match the intake, and opening the intake to match a bigger aftermarket carb, are the main areas of improvement.

 

Thanks Hightower.
