2010 250 valve adjustment docs?

Hi
I was wondering if any one had any paper / pdf's of how to adjust the valves on the new 250 engines. I checked mine tonight and they are all tight and I didn't want to "dig" in to them until I had some "how to's".

FYI I have a TE250 if that makes a difference.

Thanks
Doug

There is a workshop manual now available...

How tight are they?

What are they supposed to be?

I have the same bike.

Mine are a tad on the tight side on my TC 250 as well. I've been waiting for the workshop manual to show up before I "dig in".

What is spot on?

What are the specs?

looks easy enough to check...no cam chain to mess with!

if i remember correctly it is .006i and .008e. my biggest concern was the torque for the cam holders.

any idea what the torque specs are for the cam covers, the small socket head bolts?

Take your seat off and look at the sticker on the fender, has some specs, on it

Just got off the horn with Tasky's and discussed this very subject so..... Jeff says the new 250's have been within spec on checks so far. However, if an adjustment is required the cam(s) have to be lifted to change shims. It's all gearing at the valve cover level so no cam chain to deal with and he said the timing mark are very obvious and similar to previous versions. Mind you, I've not had my valve cover off yet, just prepping for the eventual check in a few weeks. Also, he was not sure yet if the shims are the same diameter as previous versions. We'll find out soon enough. I bet some the TC guys have insight on this.......

Manual specs: Inches .006 Intake
.008 Exhaust

Millimeters .10-.15 Intake
.20-.25 Exhaust

On my Yamaha they were 5ftlb which is kinda light.
Overtighten them and you can bind the cam.

Maybe get a beam type torque wrench and see when they break loose?
