[QUOTE="Studboy, post: 645284, member: 26867"] I am trying to help my buddy adjust the valves on his 2002 XR250. We have tried NUMEROUS (8+) times to adjust the valves, every time that we fire up the bike now the valves click like crazy!!! (It sounds like they're loose.) Here is the procedure: Turn the crank so the mark on the flywheel "T" lines up with the alignment mark on the cover. (Per Manual instructions.) Make sure that there is slack in decompressor cable. (I even unhooked the cable after the 5th try just to make sure.) Loosen valve adjuster locknut. Adjust valves to .012 clearance exh. and .010 clearance intake using feeler gauges. (per man. instructions.) I am measuring the clearance between the sub-rocker arm and the adjusting tappet. I even tryed adjusting the valve clearance a little tight to see what it would do, and it didn't help. :whiner: The bikes valves were silent before we messed with them, and they had never been adjusted (and the bike probably has 40+ hours on it.) I am REALLY stumped on this one! [/QUOTE]
