Good video. I viewed it mainly to see if these engines valves were tappet or shim adjusted. I am surprised they are tappets. High performance engines usually run shims, but the tappets are a lot easier to deal with.
When the quad comes off the assembly line everything is new so during the break-in period the parts wear into each other and find their place. That's why you have to go re-adjust them to make sure they're back in the optimal location.
it would be nice if someone did a video on the entire cooling system do / don't of looking for the overheating issues of an 800r fills fluids to use /not use if there are any bleed points some of us just don't know
So are the springs compressed or not compressed at TDC? You say at the start that they need to be compressed, then you get that cylinder to TDC and aligning the dash marks with the head and as your pointing at the valves you say the springs ARE NOT compressed. Can you clarify?
doesnt seem to hard at all, im about to pull my exhaust to wrap it might as well adjust these also. where can i find a feeler gauge? only tool i dont have. what happens if the valves are off?
Today's engines are quite wear tolerant. I had a John Deere mower/tractor and check the tappet valves on schedule, and they were exactly in the middle of the high/low range, that is they perfect.
I have a 2018 outlander 100r xmr and just had its second service done...… At the time it was under factory war. dealership charged me $1960.00 for the work done... Ok rite???? the dealership adjusted the valves …. Ok when I got it back it ran fine for say for 1 to maybe 2 hours... I like 20min runs. The first time I rode an hour on it it started doing same thing I carried it to be worked on the 1st time... NO power acting like it was not getting proper fuel... started every time flawless.... but no power what so ever...…. Also the warmer the motor got the worse it would run...…. Now it is back at the same spot for repair again with less than 20 miles on it from when I picked it up from $1900.00 service..... Now they are telling me that it needs new fuel pump and plugs..... QUESTION- how much dose the proper valve adjustment have to do with the fuel delivery and what are the odds that the fuel pump and plugs are bad V.S. incorrect valve adjuystments ????? PLEASE HELP!!!!! Before I am stuck with another huge bill. For nothing repaired...…..

I did my valves according to this video awesome again its spot on!
Awesome! Thanks for posting. I found this video methodical and accurate. Make this job easier for me!!

Really helpful video for anyone who hasm't ever done this thereself, thanks!
Great video! Thanks for the upload and instruction. Doing my XT1000 Commander today.
great vid glad to have found it just before i did the belt ! big THANK YOU !!
& its in laymens terms
Awesome man. Thanks. Your videos are awesome.
Great video. Thanks. Not too many videos on can ams.
Excellent video. Nice job

Thanks for the video been wanting to no how to do this.
wicked video man!!
great video!
Great video thank you for sharing
Very straightforward and sensible instructions. Thanks mate. Ill throw the shitty manual in the bin
thank you for the video
Excellent video well done. When you adjust your valves is it possible to check your chain tension? Can you make a video on that ? Thanks.
Good stuff, thanks
great video! I will definetly be doing this on my 800r max xt. What torque did you use on the valve cover bolts?
Awesome! Thanks.
Are the adjustment tolerances the same from this 13 model up to a 15 model 800, nothing changed I don't think?
Any clue as to why I would have no spark, is there a module or fuse,
it would be nice if someone did a video on the entire cooling system do / don't of looking for the overheating issues of an 800r fills fluids to use /not use if there are any bleed points some of us just don't know
Do those valve lash adjustments also work for the 1000 commander?
Do you have to replace the gaskets or can you just re-install old ones?
So are the springs compressed or not compressed at TDC? You say at the start that they need to be compressed, then you get that cylinder to TDC and aligning the dash marks with the head and as your pointing at the valves you say the springs ARE NOT compressed. Can you clarify?
it's a reusable rubber gasket so your good to reuse it.
what are the clearance for the Rotax 570
Do these engines usually need adjustment? That is do they wear? There is 200hrs on mine and the valves haven't bee checked yet.
I’m at 8000kms and I doubt mine have been adjusted, I just bought it used.
I adjusted mine because it was backfiring when I let off the throttle, it still does it though is there another reason for a backfire
Running too rich
ryan newell I'm having the same problem. How do I get it to not run as rich
GanAm's Garage you need to adjust air fuel mixture or re jet it
doesnt seem to hard at all, im about to pull my exhaust to wrap it might as well adjust these also. where can i find a feeler gauge? only tool i dont have. what happens if the valves are off?
Any auto store. If the valves are to tight you can burn them. To loose and your engine will run like crap or not at all, and slowly kill itself.
If not adjusted right, you could have valve to piston contact and eventually bend or break a valve or all lol
Just getting into this. Why is this important? And why do you adjust. Do they get out of place over time?
Today's engines are quite wear tolerant. I had a John Deere mower/tractor and check the tappet valves on schedule, and they were exactly in the middle of the high/low range, that is they perfect.
This would be about the same for the 400?
Yes it is, exempt that it´s only 1 cylinder on a 400. From this video I could adjust the the valves on my 400.
What happens if you don’t do this? Starts running lean or rich?
Will possibly have a misfire like symptom or you’ll start to hear a ticking noise from the motor
Does the engine have to be hot or cold?
Should always adjust valves when cold
Hot or cold engine really important in measuring. You never stated hot or cold spec
Good vid. But honestly, that's 7 thou.

chris moore maby tell them to blue lock tight the valves . Sounds like you need a new repair place.
