Absolute genius. I did mine 3 years ago and couldnt get the feeler gauge in any of the valves and spent hours at the grinder which through off the sides of the gauge. I stopped in the middle and put it back together, it was this video that gave me the confidence to try fro a second time. My hat off to you my friend.
Just wanted to drop a little note to say thanks for these videos. I must've watched these two on the valve adjustment five times and it helped me greatly! Now, I'm a fan of all your content. Keep up the good work!
Here I am watching it at 1am. Best video on valve adjustment sir. Thanks for doing it. I will be keeping it for future reference. Well done! Long live the suzuki BULLY.
Ever heard of a thread pitch gage? I was a machinist for ten years. I used the thread pitch gage to identify tpi (threads per inch). Once tpi is determined, divide tpi into one and the result is the amount of travel per revolution of the bolt. You can then divide that by 360 degree to calculate how far to move the bolt in degrees to get your proper amount of travel per degree. A thread pitch gage is way cheaper than a dial indicator and magnetic base.
Very informative video. I have a VX800 and the valve set-up is the same. I bought the genuine Suzuki square ended tappet adjuster tool and the fit is so sloppy I never use it. I will get some of those screws with the square head like you're using. Thank you.
After watching this video I have memories of doing the valves on my old VW bug every 3,000 miles, what a PITA. Seeing how close the working space is on the C50 I think I will get a C90 instead with the hydraulic valve lifters.
When you lock the screw back down with the lock nut, it WILL pull up a little, NO DOUBT about it!! The tighter you tighten it, the more is will pull the screw up, creating unwanted space between the rocker, and the screw. So if anyone decides to do a valve clearance job like this guy is showing it, you should, just as a fail safe check it with a feeler gauge.
Like I had said before, I'm looking for a C50 like the one you're working on re valve adjustments. The dark blue and white C50. Thanks much for this video. I'll need to know how to do this procedure when I get my C50. Thank you.

Finally, a real good video on how to do this. I have an 07, C50, same valve clearance on the 07 as your 2012. Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Thank you very much for doing this video! I have always been afraid of doing this job on my boulevard. This is extremely helpful!
Thanks again. Great couple of videos that really helped me do this job correctly.
Thank you very much for your video! You are very patient and meticulous! I just got my first bike a suzuki boulevard c50 its 2006 with 23000 miles.
You, my friend are a lifesaver thank you kind, sir

You make such a complicated thing so easy. Your better than the Manuel.

Great job. Thank you. I have learned a lot from your videos.
You are the man! Just wonderful. thank you!
