Honda Rebel Noisy Valves
Vložit

- This is a Honda Rebel after the valves were adjusted. The adjustment was the first step I had taken in doing the 600 mile service. Adjusting the valves was the only thing I did. They seem to be noisy and I am asking for opinions on why they would be so noisy - much noisier than before the adjustment. I have gone back and checked them several time and insured I set the clearance correct (.003 inches) and torqued all the bolts down to the specification given in the Honda Rebel Service Manual.

I didn't see you check it again after you tightened it down. They will move again. I know this vid is old but someone may may watch in 2021. Thanks
Hello I have this problem and this sound can you help me to make it
If they were actually at .003, it wouldn't make that loud clicking noise. I can think of 2 possibilities . Either that was not actually a .003 gauge. Don't mix up inches and MM. .003 is inches, which equals .08mm. An 8 and a 3 can be mistaken for the other on a set of older feeler gauges. I doubt it would run at .008, but if it did it would make a whopper of a noise. The other possibility is that the valves were not completely closed. I noticed that he did not check for the T mark on the flywheel. I don't either, but I have done this job a million times. I noticed he stopped turning just as the valve appeared to be closed. It should have been turned just a bit further. The valves will remain closed through several degrees of crankshaft rotation. If you don't use the mark on the flywheel, turn the engine over a few times and get used to how long the valves stay closed. Try to do the adjustment right in the middle between when they close and when they open. Also, I never use a torque wrench on valve adjuster locknuts. A long time ago I broke a couple of adjusters doing that (that also goes for the oil drain bolt) since I have been a mechanic for 36 years, I have developed a feel for tightening nuts/bolts that don't require much torque.
This happened to me, the way i got it back to normal was leaving it sitting (to cool down) for two days, bought new gauges advance auto parts (003in) (not ebay) and torqued it to 7 ft pounds. this was on a 2007 Honda rebel 250. of course i made mistakes and had to replace two of the screws (tappets) and nuts bought them from (jacks small engines .com) but that was because i over tighten the screw and nut rendering them useless. refer back to this video to compare the new sound because if you are like me, you will be scared you may have made another mistake. however recognize the thumping is no longer there just a normal ticking.
I have resolved this issue. I bought a new set of feeler gauges and used a slightly different procedure for adjusting the valves. Back on the road!!!!!
Old Vet what did you do differently? I've got the same problem? Would be great to know how to sort it out. Thanks in advance
Old Vet Can you tell me please what have you done different I have the same problem Please help me
I am having the same issue on a 1985 gen 1 Rebel 250. If you have time to reply and share how you fixed this it would be truly appreciated.
Bro,what did u do different way to adjust? people wanna know
Did you go to top dead center through the viewing window?
great video thanks
Same issue here but it was a cam bearing that got worn down on me. So much that the cam was uneven on the head causing my valve clearance to go outta whack. Also some manuals say up to 0.004 intake and up to 0.006 on exhaust to be optimal.
I had the same problem you got to make it a real tight drag on 03
hola hermano saludos desde Venezuela, tengo un honda nighthawk 250 año 1992
te comento uno de los problemas que tengo es que no hay buenos mecanicos para este tipo de motos, tengo dos años con una falla que cuando me pongo en bajada la bujia del lado izquierdo se apaga solo cuando voy en velocidad, en neutro no lo hace, bueno la falla es mas constante del lado izquierdo, y del lado derecho es muy poco, para lograr que comience a trabajar la bujia la desconecto y le pongo la chispa a distancia y vuelve a emparejar la bujia, espero que me ayudes gracias..........
did you set the valves when engine was cold not used that day. Also its a new engine I bet after 2-3k it will be quieter. Also its air cooled and doesn't have the water insulating the noise, air cooled are always a bit noisier for that reason. Don't worry its new, just ride and enjoy and like I said after a few k it will be better.
Also check your cam chain tensioner.
Plz send intake and exhaust valve clearance reading or what will use guage number in intake and exhaust valve
Replace to rocker arm with complete assembled set with arm and Spring
My owners manual has .002 for valve settings.
Check your model year and do what the manual says. Honda designed this engine to certain specs, keep it within those specs. Lots of "general mechanics" on YT.
Eso pasa por que el balancin tiene un juego axial
I bought a Chinese bike and it does the same sound. It's valves
The sound is still coming from the tap of your bike
what was the different procedure you used because I have the same issue
jpegster64 the bike needs to be completely cold, and tdc for first then rotated to second and then checked.
Go to 004
It looks like it's really dry on the top I don't see no oil do you ever clean the oil pump I was having the same problem I clean the oil pump because it was really dirty and I don't got no more noises
