Very good video. I would only add a recommendation to stuff a clean rag in the cam chain tunnel as soon as the valve cover comes off. This will keep any dropped part from ending up in the engine. May not seem necessary, until you actually drop something...

This is a great video. You guys should do an updated version for the newer 690/701 bikes. My 2019 701 is quite a bit different. There are 2 cam shafts on the newer bikes and You don't need to pull anything to remove/replace the intake shims. To hit TDC there is a mark on the intake cam and exhaust cam that get lined up with marks on the head. Interestingly, there is a "REF" line on the intake cam that is NOT TDC.... they marked the cam with a white dot for TDC, which is annoying. I just stopped in to see what the best way was to get the shims out of the valve and it looks like a mag retrieval tool is perfect.... which works out well because I need to buy one for a screw I dropped down behind the starter F$%$#$%^^&&

Hello, what nominal clearances should be at the inlet and outlet? Greetings from Russia!

@georgistehov6076 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for the video. Do you measure the valve clearance with cam tensioner released or have to be tighten? I guess the hydraulic tensioner will be loose without oil pressure. When the manual cam tensioner is tight on my Duke 690 is giving me 0.02mm less reading for each valve, compared to when tensioner is loose. How much to tighten manual cam tensioner?

@scotttaggart 2 жыл бұрын

Should not matter as long as cam is at TDC. The chain's tension would not affect where the cam is at that point.

2019 and up do not have the same style valve train. Only one rocker to operate the exhaust valves and there is no longer rollers. If you need to adjust intake valves there is a small shaft under the cam with a red plastic tab on it. Just checked mine today. Otherwise, this video got me 90% of the way through a check. Would be nice if Rocky Mountain would do a 2019 and up video. I have no talent in that department.

Mine is a -17 model and has the same camshaft figuration as yours. And my son has a -16 and that's the same aswell. Maybe the -16 was the first with the extra balance shaft?

Just bought a 2021 690enduro. I'd love to do my own maintenance but the truth is I'm not a mechanic or technician and this seems like it would be a monumental PITA. If I tore into mine I'd never get it back together. I enjoy the video a lot but it's above my ability.

You might surprise yourself with how capable you can be. Just take your time- double check everything and ask for help if you get stuck. With all the videos out there today, it's not hard to get some decent instruction. What you call a PITA, many call relaxing!

@rmatvmc 2 жыл бұрын

Valve clearances will get tighter (smaller) as your valves wear. The face of the valve can start to wear out in turn shrinking the clearance between the shim and the cam lobe. - Wes

Why would you want to do the valve clearance every year if you didn't hit the 6000 mile mark? It's a mechanical part if it wasn't ran enough it wouldn't have wear.

Damn that should be way easier for something that is required every 6000 miles….my dr650 is childs play compared to this…I was looking at the 701 enduro but this video made me reconsider. If it was every 15k miles would be fine, but Id have to do this twice a year…yikes.

Just add or subtract the amount you’re out of spec from the original shim. That formula is probably confusing tf out of people.
