Im doing my first service after break in, I got to the valves. The rocker is in full contact on intake and exhaust.
The machine is at 16.8 hours and just under 360 km. This is all pretty easy riding on open trails, logging roads etc. I followed the manufactures breakin rules… No holding wide open throttle, steady rpm etc. the only symptom I think I may have had of bad valve adjustment is poor power, and not reving all the way up. Not sure never rode a grizz before.
To be sure Im doing this correctly… I look through the timing plug and see three lines that i center over the slot in the bottom of the timing plug hole, I am now at top center. To be sure i was in the right position i rotated 360deg and checked again, to be sure it wasnt on intake side. Still nothing. And to be clear its a screw and locknut style adjuster Im looking at right? All nuts are tight.
Should i suspect my dealer didnt check them when the pdi was done? Seems they couldnt have possibly tightened so much with such little use. Should I suspect a damaged head or valves? Over heating issues?
Im not really a mech any help would be appreciated before I call the dealer.
