The videos were created when I adjusted the valves on my 2016 Yamaha FZ 09. The shots of the manual are taken from the 2014-2016 FZ 09 Yamaha service manual.

I have done my best to provide accurate information, but as with everything on CZcams and in life, do your own due diligence(Due diligence is an investigation or review performed to confirm facts or details of a matter under consideration). I accept no responsibility for errors or omissions. Perform service at your own risk and liability. Check the service manual for your own particular year and model.
I can’t verify this, but the procedure performed for the actual valve clearance measurement, camshaft removal, bucket and shim removal, and timing chain/cam cap reinstallation should be similar for the above models and possibly for other similar motorcycles (Check the service manual for your own particular model cross referenced to the VIN).
For instance, the intake camshaft Yamaha part number 1RC-12170-00-00 CAMSHAFT ASSY 1 is used across the different models and years listed above. Yamaha made a big change to the MT 09 and related models starting in October 2020 when the engine displacement was changed from 847 cc to 890 cc.

Happy Wrenching and Riding! Robert
You save my life ...great video man ..thanks a lot !
Thanks
Excellent quality with camera work! I am not a motorcycle rider but found this very interesting to see how modern machines are engineered. I particularly like it when you show which tools you used and the size of wrench etc. Good work👍👍
Thanks Roger-this was my first video ever....thanks for suscribing!
Great videos for Yamahas CP3 platform. Thanks
Thanks for the vote of confidence... It means a lot! After you disconnect the fuel hose, put the end in a container and hold the hose down to drain the fuel out(you might get a couple tablespoons out)... I figured this out today when I removed the tank again to do some other work..
Thanks
You're welcome....happy riding!
Good job 👏🏼👏🏼 Your videos will be of great help to many people. I have a 2020 Tracer 900 GT and plan to do 16,000 service myself in a few weeks. Radiator flush, Spark plug, air filter, sync and steering lube. I've been watching some videos for a while, reading the service manual and buying tools. I believe I will face this challenge. Has this bike always been yours or did you buy it recently? how many miles? Thank you
Thanks for the vote of confidence!
I bought the bike used with ten thousand miles on it.... I rode it 14, 944 miles in one year so I'm about 1,000 mi shy of the 26000 mile valve check and adjust... I'm actually making a video right now on the steering bearing regrease...
@@meticulousmechanic Pleasure to me sir… Wow, you really enjoyed this bike and now it deserves special care. Lol
I bought my bike brand new in 2020. It took me two and half years to get almost 15,000 miles and I thought that was a lot. I will wait for the video about steering lube and I'm watching all the others. Thank you
Oh nice looking forward to this one. Just started on the series doing some prelim studying for my valve clearance job.

@@oblivion0077 Awesome hope it goes well for you!
The tank can drop on installation and scratch the frame, I use tape on the frame around the pivot mounts which seems to work.
That's a great tip! Thanks. One of the last things I have left to do is reinstall the tank after I sync the throttle bodies.... I wish I had some kind of an overhead crane where I could just slowly lower the tank into position... Luckily it's not excessively heavy... I did burn most of the gas out before I took it off so there's only half a gallon in the tank instead of 3.7 gallons
2000 views that's awesome
Hopefully that's 2,000 people that can get their tank off now!
I'm following the playlist order and am guessing you didn't happen to record taking the front forks off. Do you believe it to be worthwhile to remove the forks for the valve clearance job? Reviewing the manual it doesn't seem to be required and I can see the benefit. Curious to your opinion.
No need to remove the forks... I removed mine because I sent them off to Stoltec Moto to have the springs replaced with stiffer ones for my weight and to have the dampers modified to work with the stronger springs.... I figured I could get the suspension work done while I finished the valve job. If you haven't changed the oil in your forks in a while this might be a good time to do it.... Also it would be easier to reach in and do the work without the front wheel and forks in the way.... You'd have to tie off the front brakes out-of-the-way somehow or take those off too...if you wanted it to look like how I did it.... I also removed everything just so I could film better.....
is this possible with a full tank? what’s the easiest way to drain the fuel without making a mess?
Yes, you can remove the tank with any amount of fuel in it. The gas won't run out of the tank when you disconnect the line. You will have to catch the amount that's stuck in the line with a rag. Before I removed my tank, I rode the motorcycle until my fuel light came on which meant there was about one gallon left out of the 3.7 gallon capacity. This made it easier to lift because it was lighter.
Is there a gas shut-off valve?
No.... Just disconnect the hose and catch the gas that comes out of the hose with a rag or something.... I think the fuel pump in the tank must have a valve to prevent the fuel from pouring out of the tank once you disconnect the hose
Can you just pull the fuel line off with no fuel leaking? Not used to bikes without petcock tap
You can pull the line off and it won't leak out of the tank past the fuel pump, but there is still fuel in the line that you need to catch with a rag.
@Meticulous Mechanic thank you very much tank is now off pipes come off easy no squeezy orange clip on my 2020
@@stevedking9013 You're welcome... Interesting... how did they change the connector? Is there a different technique to get it off?
@Meticulous Mechanic black clip with a grey clip you lever up then it just pulls off no squeezing
@@stevedking9013 thanks... Sounds like they actually made something easier for once... lol
