Half way through this horrible job. I somehow thought that Yamaha would have made the job a little easier on the Gen 2 bikes. But alas no such luck. The valve cover is still a bitch and the CCT is worse than before. I knew that at 42000 kms/25000 miles the exhaust valves would be tight as they were on my 2012 bike. The only good news was that the Intake valves were ok, so only had to pull the exhaust cam and not the intake cam. Got them all in spec with thinner shims. Zip tied the cam chain to the intake cam sprocket and marked all the appropriate spots with white marker. Now I'm having a heck of a time getting that CCT Pressed back into the circlip for installation. May take a trip to my local Dealer to see how they do it. Managed it on my own on my 2012 bike but this one seems tougher. Anyone got any ideas not already posted on here? Must be a money losing proposition for a Dealer to do this job. The amount of stuff you have to remove just to get to the valves is amazing. Fun!
