2010 250 valve adjustment

ACK! Just got off the phone with Hall's. I was looking for some guidance on checking/adjusting valves on the new motor. Apparently, it's not as easy as the old motor and the shims are not the same!

Now I need a shop manual... and naturally, no one has them yet!

Hmmmm I just got off the phone with a dealer that has one (2010 TC250) and I may be getting it this could be a little more to think about.

I wouldn't let it stop you from getting one. I'm sure the procedure isn't any worse than the Jap bikes, but apparently not as easy as the "old" 250 motor and it uses different shims (no big deal either).

My frustration is the fact that I can't get a shop manual yet. I wanna check my valves! NOW!

My local dealer confirmed it isn't quite as easy as years past, but still easy enough and not a dealer only item. I think you have to remove a cam or gear, but I don't think you have to disassemble much to do that.

Thanks NC and Kreig but now I am getting the old cold feet with the two that won't start and no shop manual thing. I think if I could find a new 09 CR125 I would pull the trigger on that at least I would KNOW exactly what I am getting. Well I am going to make a buy today but I am not sure of what.

I'll bet they are the 7.48mm shims like the Yamaha 250f, instead of the 9.48mm in the current motors.

I have both kits if you need some...

Later,

Ooh. Need a ride report.

Are there stamped marks on the gears to align TDC?

Hey this doesn't sound to bad. Thanks K. Good question Krieg.

Well let me know on the valve adjustment procedure please it looks like we will be needing to know........I just got home this evening with a new 2010 TC250! Thanks for the reassurance.
