Great video, I would love to see you check the chain adjuster play and and operation, that way you know if you need to replace the cam chain or the adjuster

Glad i watched this as the bolt is missing on the rocker cover on a dead 650, had it running its like a chimney on the bolt hole ,any advice apart from the obvious pressurising from the cylinder .

07:45 when losening or tightening parts with lots of bolts and screws it is advisable to do it in a symmetrical fashion.

The engine shouldn't be turned over with the tensioner removed. Line up the cams before taking the 22mm bolt out

@Cody1692 8 жыл бұрын

+ItsFriscoBaby Any chance you can provide more detail on why you shouldn't turn it over with the tensioner removed? I know the manual also has a vague warning about the same (which i missed).

@ItsFriscoBaby 8 жыл бұрын

+Cody Bishop It's bad practice to turn the engine with the chain in place and not tensioned. All he has to do is line up the marks then take the tensioner out. By rotating it without tension you could have the chain come off the bottom pulley (can be a disaster to put back on. He also ignores this when taking the cams out. Without the tensioner keeping the chain guide in place the chain can damage it (rare enough but happens) Basically there are some risks with rotating it without the tensioner and since it's completely unnecessary you shouldn't do it.

@Cody1692 8 жыл бұрын

+ItsFriscoBaby Makes sense, no extra effort to save potentially a lot of trouble. Greatly appreciate the response. I think you've helped identify what might be wrong with mine.

How do I install the auto decompressor on the exhaust cam? Does it matter how it sits in there?

@fundamentalbass2576 9 жыл бұрын

Great to see potential problems and issues. Shit happens, and at least I can see how the small issues were solved here. The chain tensioner here (single spark?) is A LOT easier to get to than on my G650GS (twin spark). I'm not going to touch it unless I have to...

@LosSerpent 2 жыл бұрын

The funduro is a twin spark too

The left exhaust valve on my bike can't fit the .004 but can fit the .003 really easily. Do you think I can do with out adjusting it?

@jonbaker7370 12 жыл бұрын

holly shit and I thought adjusting the valves on my KTM was hard. I think I will be paying BMW to adjust my valve on the Sertao. Thanks for the video, I like learning as much about my bikes as I can just in case I am in some far away place and have to do it myself. That was one scary valve job. I love riding but hate working on the bikes.

This has got to be one of the most complicated valve adjustments I've seen.

sadly, the cam removal to adjust clearances, has become quite common. imagine it on MULTI.,

@Steve.Miller 11 жыл бұрын

The BMW valve-clearance adjuster, No. 11 7 501, should save removing the cams and cam assemblies. Does anyone have pictures/video of this tool, and/or drawings on making one? (Pictures in my downloaded service manual are weak.)

Just a question maybe you know.. Can the DS650 bombardier cams be used on my twinspark f650gs dakar 2004 model? both are 652 rotax engines..

Most likely. Look up the part numbers of the cam in motosport.com or something similar and see if they match.

Why didn't you just remove the cams and then re-time them instead of zip tying them. Could have a lot more room

Great video. There isn't any easy way to do most things on the F650 engine. After taking the exhaust off to change the air filter, I knew I was in for some heartache doing a valve adjustment! Thanks for the knowledge!

@johannese.4927 8 жыл бұрын

+E Linzmeyer idk what you did... but there is no need to remove the exhaust to remove the airfilter on the f650... the filter is in the airbox (obv.), just beside the battery.... takes only two screws to remove it...

good vid but your somewhat of a noob, you should just remove the cams and then pull the chain up and use a coat hanger or something to hold it up and keep it from coming off the bottom gear. that zip ty technique is lame and then the cams are all in your way. this is almost the exact procedure for adjusting the valves on the KTM four stroke dirt bikes just a little different shim and bucket, it is not that hard once you do it once and way worth saving the $150 shop price !!!

This video made me decide to buy an R bike instead of this one.

@ylism 9 жыл бұрын

Seems way over engineered, to have to do it that way, just to much to do just to get the shims out. BTW just a thought, the Suzuki GS500 uses a tool that could help, if made for this motor, seeing they are some what similar in shim type, not saying it will work, but one may, if made right ? Have a question, is the tensor hydraulic operated, somthing like a lifter, say in a car ? Don't anything about these, and I skipped parts of the video..lol Just being honest... Thanks, yl

Is this a how not to do it video? Damn those pesky torque settings, just snug it up!

@captlarry-3525 3 жыл бұрын

when and if you have been a mecanic a long time, you develop a feel for torque, and in most cases torque values are based on fastener size ( and if not, you have been a mechanic a long time..and so you read manuals and note the exceptions ( like those pesky one use head bolts in VW diesels)... So if you ask said mechanic to torque something to 14 or 30 or 90 ft pounds.. by feel..and then check him with your torque wrench. chances are damn good he has done it with-in the acceptable variation. Extending this to hitting the torque values using an L shaped allen wrench.. well lets hope it really isnt critical.

@qbloke 3 жыл бұрын

@dogfeathers5646 2 жыл бұрын

Sorry but I am not impressed at all with this guys methods. I did watch the video and certainly learned some things on what NOT to do. No wonder he lost camchain timing! I did my valve adjustment for the first time and it was easier than what this guy made it seem, a bit complicated but if you are careful and patient it is doable. Now why the factory made it such a PITA to start with, I have no idea. I think it was to discourage owners from working on their own bike and to just take it to the dealer and pay a fortune. Thankfully these bikes hold their valve dimensions a long time.
