Check and Adjustment of the Valve Clearance
• Excessive valve clearance will cause noise and engine damage. Little or no
clearance will prevent the valve from closing and will cause damage to the valve
and the quad will have loss of power. Check the valve clearance when the
engine is cold.
• Remove the center hole cap from the case cover, generator cover and cylinder
head cover.
• By using a T spanner, rotate the generator flywheel counterclockwise until the
T mark on the flywheel lines up with the index mark on the view hole. In this
case, the piston may either be on the compression or exhaust stroke. The
adjustment must be made when the piston is at the TDC (top dead center) of the
compression stroke and both the intake and exhaust valves are closed.
• This condition can be determined by moving the rocker arms. If they are free, it
is an indication that the valves are closed and that the piston is on the compression
stroke. If they are tight and the valves are open, rotate the flywheel by 360
degrees and realign the T mark to the index mark.
• Check the clearance of both valves by inserting a feeler gauge between the
adjuster screw and the valve stem.
• The intake valve clearance should be .002 inches and exhaust valve clearance
should be .004 inches.
• If it is necessary to make an adjustment, loosen the lock nut and turn the adjusting
screw so there is a slight resistance when the feeler gauge is inserted. After
completing the adjustment, tighten the lock nut while holding the adjusting screw
to prevent it from turning. Finally, recheck the clearance to make sure that the
adjustment was not disturbed.
• Reinstall all of the parts to there original positions.
Check for Leaks Along the Air Supply Line
• Check regularly along the lines for leakage due to wear or damage. Please
replace the part immediately.
Engine Break-In
• Change it to 5W50 synthetic oil.This is the most important time for the engine
and the life of your motorcycle, because your engine is brand new, you should not
carry excessive loads or ride at a high speed for a prolonged period of time. Vary
your speed, do not operate at a continuous speed. Check the oil before starting
