Thank you very much! Just did the 100 mile break-in service on my 2022 Rubicon, and this video was invaluable. Couldn't have done it without you. You are right, getting in there and learning the quad is awesome. While I had it torn apart I put dielectric grease in all my electrical connection blocks, and even relocated a block that was attached near the bottom of the frame to a higher point. I am going to try and keep it out of the water, but it is nice to know I can get wet if I need to. I installed a 420 pull start on the 520 engine (fits perfect), and that really helped me find TDC. I wish the 2022 models came with a pull start, but Honda doesn't even have it listed as an option in the US. Apparently, they come standard in Canada.

Just wanted to let you know this this is the best valve set video for these bikes on you tube. Thanks for the step by step and the tips. Made it really easy for me.

Excellent, no BS, to the point vid as always Mud Pup. Much appreciated.

I remember watching this video 2 years ago.... I got the quad apart... but getting it back together lmao!! Good thing there was a atv mech just down the road from my parents... I pushed my quad there with a big smile on my face!

Thank you for taking the time to show us, how to's on are machines your the best!!! Cheers

Wow great video, thank you. I will do the next one myself and thanks for taking us through every step. Great pointer on putting the screws, nuts and bolts into either of the storage compartments. Never thought of that. I just end up kicking them around my garage floor.

Great video. I did catch something on my Honda that was built wrong, and if you hadn't mentioned the valves being loose on TDC I'd potentially ruined my motor. My "T" mark is on the wrong stroke. I kept questioning myself, but I cought you mentioned the valves are loose. When my T mark was visible, my valves were compressed. So nicely done on mentioning that. So I completed the job and now it runs perfectly. Thank you.

as a polaris guy, you nailed the torx comment. I’ll be moving over to Honda for my next atv. Love that they still offer a foot shifter model.

Awesome! Gunna do mine tonight. Thanks for the how-to videos!

Thanks for this video. I took my rnacher to a shop and he charged 75 bucks and the engine was still making noise.

Looks like you moved in to a new house man hell yeah been subscribed to mud puppies 4 years now I do believe

I have to do the Valve Adjustment on my Kodiak. Love both Honda’s and Yamaha.

great video, but wow it sent my vertigo into overdrive 🤣

Hats off I have been dreading doing this but as you say it’s easy great video

So many excellent Honda’s I subscribed and great content as well.

Here I though the only time to do that was when you sell it! It ain’t a Mercedes MBE series engine that drops valves when out of adjustment. I go tight enough that the feeler gauge drags and is hard to get back in. The round casting of the cam means you can do an adjustment as long as it’s not on the lobe of the cam. Doing 6 cylinder engines you can get by a top set without cranking the motor for every cylinder to get to TDC. You can do it in 2 engine rotations. ( Cyl 1tdc adjust valves that are closed on the rest of the cylinders, on 6 you’ll have valve overlap, rotate 180 do cyl 6 and the corresponding closed valves)

Was not aware these utility quads required valve check on initial maintenance. That's pretty intense. Coming from the motorcycle world that would never fly.

U have taught me a pretty good bit thanks

Let’s go ahead and say this is the longest video and I like the long videos

great video, thanks, 'scribed.

Awesome! Thank you for doing that!

oh and can you if it’s not that inconvenient make a video when you do the top end on the yellow bike

You should go to busco beach, that would be badass seeing your honda go there

Excellent friend👍👍👍

Firstly awesome video thanks very much, i purchased a TRX500 last week as a non runner, i have spark, fuel pump works well, injectors seem to have nice spray but i still cant get it to start, feels like i have good compression on the pull start but im going to check compression next and then i thought i should check the valve clearances, anything else you would recomend i check?

Awesome video. I having a little trouble getting my 2023 Foreman valves loose. I have gotten it to TDC twice and the valves were not loose, they were very tight. I went ahead and just accepted they were just tight to begin with, so I adjusted them to specs. I haven't gotten it back together yet, Do you think I should go with what I did, or do you have any advice? Thanx!

25:47...Got a solution for this bro. Get some vasoline and fill the cap up and screw on. It keeps air out of the sealant and it don't dry up. It works really well.

the dealer wants $300 for the first valve adjustment on my 2020 rancher 420 4x4. I’m thinking I’m just going to do it my self after watching your video.

so when i do my top end do i need to front plate off since i can do top dead center that way?

Hey awesome video keep it coming. Do You have any video doing a clutch kit on 08 500 rubicon .

Why do you get the stock Rubicons instead of getting the mud pro ones that already have snorkels and mud tires?

i love your content bro!

Man I wish I could afford a utv 😭

Ok got 3 foremans now but want to build a bike like ya do , i know i gota go ind rear for clearance so what bike am i looking for best year earliest the better as it will be cheaper cause im just gona beat it lol , and rubicon or foreman ?? , got to be foot shift . Love my air cooled bikes for reliability no hoses rad to brake etc but honda had to change it damm , ya got a sub great vids

I have adjust valves on my other atv's (and many engines throughout life) but on my 2020 rubicon I am considering taking it in for the 20 hr service just so I don't have to worry about any BS on warranty. Anyone ever had issues with warranty when you performed your own maintenance?

Not sure if you will answer to me or not but I’m doing mine now great video but I pulled the plug and I’m trying to find tdc but there’s no t on the flywheel or whatever it is can’t seem to get past that part I took the little cover off the back and am using a ratchet

Please do a video on the top end rebuild on the yellow rubicon.

excellent video man

You should have done it before and after startup to hear how bad the ticking is

What pliers did u use for the clips? Thank you

That was fast thanks!

Great video thanks for that, should this be checked at a certain time? I've a 500 here just coming up to 100hours and will be doing service myself the first one was done by dealership as part of warranty

I watch all your videos I know your a Honda man I considered getting the talon but it just didn’t sit as comfortable as the krx I ended getting the Kawasaki krx 1000 last week have you had a chance to ride one and what do you think about them so far I like it but wish the throttle response was better I made a lill review about it if can check it out and tell me what you think even it’s bad it will be ok too late now done bought it so let’s hear it I respect you opinion just go under brad Bargo krx review

Did this to mine, followed everything in the video, had a tink before used feeler and all, I put it back together turned it on and it knocked hard as crap turned it off instantly whatd I do wrong???

When the valves are set on a honda can you still kind of hear them?

Does anyone know what the compression should be on a 2017 Honda rubicon IRS 500? I’m only getting 60 on the gauge

ALVIN !!. no longer kept up 🤣🤣

Question if you have a pull start on the bike could you just pull it over some with the pull cord to get to tdc?

Man I’m having a lot of confusion on lifting my 450 foreman I’m trying to figure out how to get more ground clearance do I need arches a arms and longer axles or what would you recommend I’m running 30s

I have. 250 recon and today I snorkeled it and its1 1/5 inch pvc pipe for the air box and I think it sucks in to much air how, would it be possible to sucks in to much air?

Chipmunk voice while putting it back together.. lmao

Where did you order the front bumper? I want a 2020 and was thinking about putting the 2019 bumper on but couldn’t find it to save my life

What is that white pipe you have bundled up by the air box?

Have you ever had an issue where having a snorkel on the bike to cause the bike to run hot? (More fuel) and cause over carboning on the heads ? Thanks

Do I need any special tools for a 2019 foreman 500 electric shift?

Aaaaand that’s why I take it to the Dealer….

Honda should sponsor you idk why they dont lol

Do you run 15w 40 in all your bikes? And have you ever had clutch problems

What's your favorite Honda

Why are u doing it in the first place?

why did you adjust your valves on the 520?

Thanks man!

I have a 99 recon and it’s never been adjusted and she ticks badly

Got a question for ya, I copied everything in this video.. after putting back together. Loud ticking so I don’t understand. I made sure rockers where tight so they don’t come loose ?

2020 Rancher 420 thinking about getting one for pushing snow, mudding and hunting? Do you recommend?

Why do you use shell Rotella?

what filter do you use and what filter and oil would you recomendo for a rzr 900 xp

17:55 went full chipmunk mode

Does fuel tank have to be empty to remove ?

Where do you get your top ends from?

Got a 2017 foreman 500 4x4 sputtering and bogging out half throttle

Can you install a DIFF luck on my four wheeler and if you can find one oh much will you charge me

Do you have a peanut butter addiction? I saw that pallet lol

You get 'drunk chipmunk' if you play the sped up parts at 0.25X.

Should I be good with running 29’ Aztecs on a stock 420 ? No gr needed ?

Have you ever rode a Kawasaki bayou?

what is the little snappy removal tool? snap ring pliers?

I have an 18 rubicon deluxe with around 100 hours on it, I’ve never done a valve adjustment on it and I’m currently having trouble getting it to fire, but once it does, it runs and idles fine. I’ve already had to replace a starter due it taking so long to fire. Could the valves be the problem?

@mud puppy what is best in a rubicon between dct, foot shift, and electric shift

I just snorkeled my 300 but every time it goes in water it shuts off but there is no water in oil air box and vent lines

What does the white tubes laying on the airbox fo?

Should I get 35 or 33 bkts on my Honda talon can’t find any videos with 35s and dealer ship says I can put 35s

How do you find TDC if rocker remains tight?

i bet you could do that in the dark!

This is 100x harder to do than on a DR650

I can’t decide between the mega Mayham tires and the Kenda Executioner tires can someone tell me if one is better than the other?

Hey, do you still have that 86 fourtrax?

Interested in selling the 2020 grille?

do you have a Rincon 680

Hey man are you still making arms? What’s your email?

I thought you didn't care about looks?

You should lift that puppy and slap 32s on there

Bike has 2 wheels. Lol

Anyone know of a torque spec for the rear axle hub nut on a 2007 foreman 500 ? Just replaced bearings and couldnt find anything on it
