How would I tell

IDK what size bolt is on this oil filter but its enormous.

Roger. Will dump away. Have a replacement filter as well. 10w40. Any suggestions for what brand that walmart has on hand?

Fuck it I'm going to get oil right now. I'll warm it up and clean it out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I didn't do the oil but I was gonna do it tomorrow after I redo the valves Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I think I made them too tight. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

So the service manual says the inlets are .16-.19 and exhaust is .21-.26. So I used the .15 .17 and made sure the .2 didn't fit. Then on the exhaust made sure the .22 and .25 fit and the .27 did not. How tight is it supposed to be between there when putting the feeler in? For me I did it so it's pretty tight and scraping the feeler Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I just got the service manual ordered on eBay. Pdf is hard to read. Skull how does the tdm work when checking valve clearenves? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm about to text him lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Chad you need to come over and hear it and ride it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I tried listening to older videos and its hard to tell. Not the Same setup for recording or testing. It feels like checking valves made it smoother and maybe the knocking just sounds more present now.

131 miles lol I also don't own a truck. Any idea on cost range? Valves checked. Few gaskets replaced. Carbs tuned and synced. Rejetted if needed. Might as well do oil. Oh and speedometer drive replaced.

Is the most important part here that the knocking doesn't seem to be coming from the valves or rocker arms? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Don't think anyone is doing wheelies on this one. Mike of mikes bikes said he is a month out. Any other recommendations! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I read similiar as well online. Just thought Id throw it out there for people to help me with since I am not sure I even did the valve check correctly. It did seem to actually ride really swell.

So I tried my hand at adjusting my valves. Unsure if done correctly as the instructions I could find were a bit hard to understand and the images hard to see. Below is an IMGUR album of the alternator case cover off because the instructions told me to adjust it to line up the TDK and the timing but I dont understand what I am looking at and did my best. After putting it back together I felt it was more responsive when riding but unsure if this sound is new or was present before. Its a knocking like sound and feel that is most present with the clutch out, with the clutch in it goes away. Feels and sounds like its coming from right side engine cover where clutch is. Also below are videos of it. The videos are in order from most recent, and the fourth is from the night before I did the valves. Also carbs were cleaned. http://imgur.com/a/p66Mi

Welcome! Springfield also reporting in.

I hate everything about working on carburetors.

Welcome. Hit me up. Live just over in Springfield. Moto, guns and cigars are my thing so we probably will get along.

Oh also. Positive note. Geico is clearing the "at fault" accident and marking it as not at fault.

Thanks guys! Have since been on a few rides since then and have improved. I have noticed I lean harder left than right. I dont know if this is some subconscious issue with the throttle being on that side or what.

I want to stroke it.

Welcome!

Welcome back I am one of those people who doesnt like a front end on the SV650. I like things naked.
