The videos were created when I adjusted the valves on my 2016 Yamaha FZ 09. The shots of the manual are taken from the 2014-2016 FZ 09 Yamaha service manual.
Disclaimer:
I have done my best to provide accurate information, but as with everything on KZfaq and in life, do your own due diligence(Due diligence is an investigation or review performed to confirm facts or details of a matter under consideration). I accept no responsibility for errors or omissions. Perform service at your own risk and liability. Check the service manual for your own particular year and model.
I can’t verify this, but the procedure performed for the actual valve clearance measurement, camshaft removal, bucket and shim removal, and timing chain/cam cap reinstallation should be similar for the above models and possibly for other similar motorcycles (Check the service manual for your own particular model cross referenced to the VIN).
For instance, the intake camshaft Yamaha part number 1RC-12170-00-00 CAMSHAFT ASSY 1 is used across the different models and years listed above. Yamaha made a big change to the MT 09 and related models starting in October 2020 when the engine displacement was changed from 847 cc to 890 cc.
