Fantastic to have Ryan Reynolds provide such an informative and comprehensive motorcycle mechanical video - thanks mate!

Fantastic video Thank you for taking the time to do this and for sharing. Doing my first ever valve shim adjustment on my Daytona 675R with 40,000Km and replacing my cam chain and tensioner guide blades (one of them is broken). This is the perfect way to visualize the instructions on the service manual and you just made it an infinitely less daunting task. Cheers to you buddy! Thanks again

Everything I needed to know and more. Thank you so much for all the work you put into this, I really appreciate it. I hope you have the heated seat and grips up there in Calgary, I checked out your locale.....looks like some fabulous scenic roads. Thanks again.

Thanks so much for this, man. I managed to do valves on my Street Triple thanks to you!

I’m glad you know how to do this stuff. My bike is in the shop. After watching your video I think I made the right choice having a “real” technician do the work instead of me

Doing my 12k Mile service on the Tiger 900 Rally Pro... even with the Service Manual, this helped A LOT. Thanks.

Great video. Glad I watched it before attempting this on my own; I shall be taking my bike to a real mechanic for this procedure. I’ve got 35k miles on my 2011 street triple and never had the valves inspected.

Very well done. This job alone is why my Tiger 800 is the first and last Triumph I will own.

New found respect for you tech’s. Will not ever complain about hourly rates, when I have the dealership perform this open heart surgery on my Tiger 800. 👍🏼 😎 🇺🇸 🌎. P.S. unless they bugger it up. 🤬

Thank you for your videos, they are very informative. I am having a hard time getting a feel for the clearance on the exhaust side. I am able to insert a 0.330mm and 0.356mm blade on all exhaust valves, but it feels the same. #1 exhaust cylinder is the only one I feel confident on my measurement, because is so easy to reach. I have used both flat and tapper blades purchased at the local auto part store. I am now thinking of getting feel gauge blades with narrow point like the ones you use Any suggestions?

Hi, I follow your instructions. Very informative. However, my engine came on and stay one. Will it go away after driving a few miles. Or do I need to take to the dealership to clear the engine light? I have a 2011 tiger 800. Thanks

Thanks again for this Am finishing up my valve adjust and have replaced my cam chain and tensioner guides. Everything went smoothly until this step when I refitted the cam plate. (20m on video) Started tightening the bolts as stated by the manual and the camshafts did not sit well on the left hand side of the engine. That’s because, like you mentioned, the lobes on cylinder 1 are pointing in but slightly down, so they need to compress the valve buckets ever so slightly in order for the plate and camshafts to sit correctly. Of course, inexperienced as I am, I ended up damaging the intake camshaft and had to get a new one. It is very important to start tightening the bolts above cylinder 1 first to get the valve banks on that side to give a little more room for the cams to snug down in their slots. THEN and only then can you start following the tightening sequence described in the manual. Hope my bad experience saves someone from making the same mistake. AutoT please correct me if I am mistaken. In any case this has worked for me!

What’s is the make and model of the feeler gauges you are using. I can’t find a narrow angled feeler gauge like yours.

Can't find the Cam Holding Tool in the list of shop tools. Any idea what the part # is? Great video. MUch appreciated. Dealer wants to charge me $1000 to do this!

dope video thanks

Great! On your exhaust lash was .30 (no 3) but your two shims are slightly different size ? 2.40 and 2.45. Why is that ? Thanks. Mine measure same as yours, .30.

Great video , seems from reading the service manual the process is the same for the Tiger 900, and I'm planning ahead, just passed 10,000 Kms

Rewatching this after tighting the cam tensioner to 6nm instead of 0.6nm. Time for a new timing chain

Thank you for helping me find the level of my incompetence. Oil change? No problem. Brake bleed? Easy peezy. Spark plug and air filter change? Sure...pain in the ass, but not terrible. Pulling my cams out? Absolutely NOT for me. Definitely helps me appreciate the skills of actual technicians.

Great video!! Could you post the link to the torque wrench? I have not been able to find it. Thank you!

The video was useful buddy, by any chance have you changed the timing chain along with timing chain tensioner pad ?

why did you remove and replace the cam sprocket bolts?

this is awesome! do you have link for your shim kit you sourced and I know you list the part numbers but do you have links to the products or did you just amazon them?

Thanks for this video. I'm wondering what the purpose of the CCT tool is. Could you not put in the actual CCT to create mention against the guide?

Great video!! I do have a question. I have my bike apart but on the crank shaft the line and dot for top dead center don’t match up with the hole for the alignment tool. Should I carry on with the shims and adjust timing when finishing up? Or take it to a professional?

What's the purpose of replacing those 4 cam sprocket bolts at 22:45? If it's to slightly readjust that sprocket, wouldn't it make sense to loosen both bolts (per sprocket) before replacing one? Thanks!

Anyone know the bolt lengths for the crank case cover mentioned at 01:10? Took mine off and had 7 bolts the same length and 1 that was shorter, typical work of my local dealer lol.

Just thinking loudly - since valves are getting tighter over time wouldn't it be better to install shims to, after procedure, be at the end of loose spec? 🤔

Whats the size of those o rings?

It looks like you did not remove the throttle body assembly. Did you just loosen the throttle body assembly up to move it a little (without having to unhook all the connections) to slip the cam cover off? Or were you able to slip the cam cover off with the throttle body assembly in place? Thanks in advance.

Great video. I hope you see this, I did this and got to the step of adjusting the timing. Got the tensioner tool in and set to .6nm, got the first two bolts replaced, then removed both locking and when I tried to turn the engine over to do the second set of bolts it would not turn over after a certain point. Could this be a piston making contact with the valve? Or what else could be causing this?

T3880607 - ordered this part which is pictured on the online site with a combined Allen key/socket. I'd be interested to know whether, when you guys ordered this part number, you received just the tensioner (as I did) or the two parts pictured in the tools list? When querying, I received the following reply from the supplier...."Tensioner part is supplied correctly. The EPC image differs across numerous models, showing an allen key. This is not included and the image on EPC is incorrect, this is purely an illustration and does not reflect supplying part". It is not going to stop me from undertaking the work.....the point is, is this misleading (that is, implying that you will get two parts when you only get one)?

Do you use loctite on the replacement bolts?

Quick question... Is the 1200 explorer same as the 800?

Is it 6 nm or POINT 6 nm??? Please let me know. Simple and straightforward video man u rock btw lol

What diameter valve shims does the Tiger 800 take? 7.48mm?

Do you have any videos of starter replacement?

I Want to check my 2020 Triumph Tiger 900 Valve clearance shims 20,000 Klms now. Where can I purchase the Crank pin tool and the Cam Shaft alignment tool?

How often does this need done?

told by dealer they had to remove the radiator to change shims is this right

Great set of videos. Thank you for producing. I have a question regarding the tensioner tool (the one that must be tightened to 0.6Nm). I understand that you remove the standard tensioner and at the appropriate stage, insert the special tensioner tool and adjust to 0.6Nm. I do not understand what this tool does; that is; it pushes the tension arm against the chain at the correct torque setting but then you remove it and fit the standard tensioner. Can you please explain what the special tool does or allows you to that is different from the standard tensioner and perhaps paint a word picture of how it all works? I would be very grateful.

I wish you were in my country to trust you the maintenance of my Tiger 800. I don't trust my local Triumph dealer.

Hello, why use that aligner if the camshaft cover already has its own aligner guide , minute 13:00. On the paper you put the cylinder numbers wrong, cylinder 1 is the one on the left mounted on the motorcycle, greetings good video,sorry google translate

TOP TIP Just buy a 7mm bar and cut to size to fit into the cam slots or use a 7mm drill bit..it saves you money and does exactly the same job

Yep, that may be above my pay grade. More like above my patience level lol.

‼️”minus it” I didn’t realize they speak Section 8 in Canada 🙂

Can I pay you to adjust my cam 😂 2009 Daytona 675
