I have been working on this bike all day and the wife is getting pissed. I pulled apart to do the valves shims. the crankcase breather hose that is the middle hose on the airbox where the hell does that go?? Does it just not go to anything? I cant tell there was a little clip on there but I've looked everywhere. I've scoured the internet and the manual and cannot find. any help would be great. I know where it connects to the airbox I just don't know where it's supposed to connect from there. Anyone that can help would be much appreciated.

Nice Video ❤

Wrong drill dit. Zzzz

well show us how

What does enlarging that air hole do for the bike exactly ? Looks like maybe increase the throttle response?

What is the is each of the nipples for on the air filter housing like the 3 behind one one on the bottom? I just bought a 1997 vn800 and need to run new lines as old ones were all removed I am am struggling with it and could really use some help knowing what they are for or where do they connect at the other end thanks 😬

Man old vid but I gotta take my 96 800 apart I have a ticking noise and 17000 miles just bought it looking at all the videos I can find and just know I have allot more than I think wrong haha. Love y’all have a great day n night😢😂

Word has it he's still drilling

This happened to mine but it is the rear

Where can i find the engine?

I know this is an older vid, but your right! Mine blew out the rear cylinder.

Shims don't do anything if they're put on top of the c-clip. Shims are meant to go on the bottom to raise the needle and allow more fuel through.

I had my valves checked at 28k and the tech said they were still in specs don't know whether to believe him or not.

Thank you so much for the video. I have a 97 vulcan 800 Clissic, my first bike. She wasn't properly taken care of by her previous owners, I've had to do a lot of maintance. Unfortunately no one in my area will work on the bike so now I'm teaching myself. My bike has over 37,000 miles on it, 5,400 I put on this season and it developed what I'll discribe as a clanging noise. I think I found my problem. Thanks again!

i have never checked my valve clearance and i have 62,000 miles on the bike and it runs great. 27 yrs. old

Upsss!!!, A PCV Valve, !!! Upsss, efectivamente esa es una válvula PCV, y tiene como finalidad que los gases que se generan dentro de la cabeza y motor de la moto sean desechachos hacia su exterior mediante estás resperideros, que más que respiraderos son expulsadores de gases, pues al ir conectado al filtro y toma de aire de carburador funciona subsionando los gases daniños hacia la cámara de combustión y así sean reciclados. O sea a efecto de que esos gases sean quemados !!!. Esa es la única función de esa válvula, y si obstruyen los orificios expulsores de gases de aceite lo que ocacionaras es mayor presión en su interior y por consecuencia que las juntas de esa cabeza se dañen y empiece a expulsar el aceite mediate ellos. Ok. Bay

Is your drill in reverse?

I would have drilled a 2nd hole beside the original hole instead of making the hole bigger. That way it is reversible . If you have any issues you can fill the 2nd hole with rtv silicone and back to original..

Quero participar do grupo kawasaki vulcam 800cc

I did exactly as you showed… but now when ik start te bike. It runs great, but when i put it in first and want to drive it shuts down the engine? Please anyone? 🤣

Doesn’t make sense. If it’s attached to air intake, how is it recirculating exhaust? It is there for efficiency. The only real benefit in removing it seems to be aesthetics.

Hey bro Sharpen your bit

Thanks.

I've heard S40's when the tensioner goes, it doesn't sound like that, it's a very recognizable metal noise, I would guess this is something different...OK, I just noticed you replied to Kyle that it was exhaust valve sticking. I hope you got back on the road :)

Thanks for the video and the comments.. Do you have any lower side tuning tips like this?

Lesson 1 kids. don't hold the piece you are drilling in your hands. Use a vice ffs.

Hola, me ha pasado casi lo mismo, o lo mismo porque ha salido la valvula por el tubo de escape y trozos de esta, al final reparastes ese motor o fue imposible? Gracias.

What is the correct size of the drill???

I have 61,000 miles on the motorcycle. It sounds great for the last 26yrs

This is not egr or pcv this is PAIR valve that takes fresh filtered air from air box and gives it to exhaust for un burnt fuel. It doesn’t increase/decrease performance but it helps environment by not letting carbon monoxide gas out

Just goes to show you how stupid people are, as they tell you how great this video was, when in fact it was like watching A Charlie Chaplin movie from 1932. You showed absolutely nothing, as a Master mechanic I can honestly say this was about as useless as tits on a bull. You showed your viewers nothing but high speed disassemble. Hopefully you're not working on other people's bikes because I seen many things that were absolutely ridiculous that you did.

going to try this hopefully it makes my bike run better

Safest ... drilling ... ever 🤔🤣🤣🤣

so whyyy dindt they made some adjustable screw, im my country is almost impossible to find this shims to buy, what can i do?

all of the melting was from running lean

is this motor a non-interference motor ?

is the vn800 a non-interference motor

You do realize that by doing this you're allowing the blow by to stay trapped in the cylinders, sorry man but as a motorcycle mechanic and a shop owner I would definitely advise against this.

My 2001 VN800 did this at 24,000 miles. I never went more than 5,000 miles between valve adjustments. The bike ran great until the moment the exhaust valve snapped. I suspect it was caused by the aftermarket exhaust, although I never noticed the bike running hot.

Hello, it's me again. Where can I download the manual service file? My engine is vulcan vn400. I would appreciate it if you could help.

Just did this then was reading comments is it allgood to do will my bike be sweet?

Do you have the specs for the rear valves?

VERY IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR YOUR VIEWERS, THE EXHAUST SIDE HAS BEEN UPDATED BY KAWASAKI CORPORATION, IT IS NOT I REPEAT IT IS NOT BETWEEN .25 AND , 30, IT HAS BEEN UPDATED SOME YEARS BACK TO BE BETWEEN .20 AND .25. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS GET NOTED ON YOUR VIDEO.

VERY HELPFUL !! In understanding how this is measured.

Thanks for the video. Why did you leave all that tubing from the carb? You could remove it all and plug the carb for a cleaner look.

Very helpful thank you

Thanks!!!

You removed PCV system, which keeps your inside engine cleaner and prevents oil leaks from increased crankcase pressure!!! You can do any dumb sh.t to your bike, but DO NOT recommend it to other people!!!! I guess you don't know what PCV system is and how it works. Research internet!!!
