I really doubt your mech creditability, when he says valve clearance no need to do?

 

If you chose to believe your mech, maybe one day when there is no more clearance on the the valves, you will risk having burnt or bent valve, then you gona pay your mech thousands of dollar to overhaul the engine.

hi actually i m quite curious about the schedule for doing valve clearance. Wad symptoms will require valve clearance and how often to do it?

 

Hehz...sorrie i quite noob to this valve clearance for G4 cos two mechs also say not necessary for my bike yet... btw, mines a RN model

The schedule for valve clearance is every 12000km according to the manual. The symtoms for loose valve clerance you can easily distinguish by the tapping noise. But for zero valve clearance, the worst fear of all, there is no noise at all and you won't know unless you open the valve cover and inspect.

 

If you plan to ride the bike for long I advise you to check the valve clearance to make sure everything is in spec to have a peace of mind.

 

I have ever did a valve clearance on another forumer's Bandit 400, some of the exhaust valve clearance is closing up at the lower limit already. You go imagine.

 

Btw on my gsxr750, guan hoe also says no need to check valve clearance but after pestering him for 2 times he finally agree to do it for me at $65.

$65 inclusive of everything, gasket and coolant as well, I think its cheaper than own self DIY. Basically the shims hardly worn out, its reusable, so Guan Hoe just swap the correct shim size from his workshop with your bike to get the correct spec.

 

The shim if you buy on your own cost $8 per shim, imagine a total of 16 shims on the G4. The valve cover gasket already cost $38 and coolant change somemore leh. $65 is very worth spending.

 

I'll be doing mine next month, as I'll going U.S for a week then.

You go there to confirm with the boss, $65 he quote me 2 years ago on gsxr750wp, shims under the bucket, which is more difficult to do then G4. The cam shaft need to remove in order to access the shims. After install back everything still need to check timing of the chain and adjust tensioner.

 

For G4 the shims is over the bucket system, much more easy to do, but not worth to DIY because the shims is pretty ex. Unless its Bandit400 lock nut and adjuster then can ownself DIY.

If you going to service your bike at Guan Hoe better make appointment in advance, I was rejected a few times by the boss because only him and another mech service bike only and the shop is always crowded with bikes.

I think he recognise me liow because I went to his shop a few times to ask this and that but never service in the end hahaha...

 

So far I only let him service my bikes twice, valve clearance on gsxr750 and change clutch sleeve hub for bandit400. This is going to be the third service to check valve clearance on gsxr400.
