Don't let adjusting your Honda CRF450L's valves scare you. In this video, we'll go through the steps to pull your cam, remove the old shim, calculate how thick the new shim needs to be, then re-assemble everything. All you'll need is your basic set of tools, a set of thickness gauges, a micrometer (or not), and a torque wrench.
Here's the "How to Check Your Valve Clearance" video - https://youtu.be/kg_k53Ah864
FOR THE RECORD: I did not have to adjust this valve at this point. At 13,000 miles the valve was still in spec, but I had the top end open so I made a video of what a valve adjustment would look like, if it needed one.
HUGE Shout Out to my Patreon Patrons - You guys and gals keep me making videos when all I want to do is RIDE.
