October 1, 201015 yr Hello, I have Sherco 3.2 4T 2008 for about a month and it's my first trial bike. It is normal that I can hear the clicking of the valves? I checked the valve play on cold engine and on intake was approx. 0,11 - 0,12 and on the exhaust valve was approx. 0,16 - 0,17. I have other 4T like Honda and Husqvarna and I've never heard so loud clicking. Thank you : ) Btw. Can you someone tell me, how to get the valve cover off without having to demount the whole engine?
October 1, 201015 yr its more likey to be the auto decompresser that you can hear clicking... the valve gaps that you gave are within torrerance... They all sound a bit agriculture compared to a honda montesta... enjoy as they are a nice bike...
October 1, 201015 yr If you hear the clicking get louder while riding slowly.....that is the decompressor kicking in and you need to bump your idle speed up a bit. There is really no need to have the bike idling really slow, and my bike was set too slow from the factory. When I bumped the idle up a little it was easier to ride and a bit harder to accidently stall.
October 4, 201015 yr Author No no, I don't mean decompresor. Decompresor is very noisy and only in low RPM. I mean "clicking" from valve. I wont from Husqvarna that I can not hear any "clicking", but if it's normal, I will not solve. Thank you for reply.
