petrs Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 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?

sirhc Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 I've had a few 3.2's and the "clicking" is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikee Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1oldbanjo Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petrs Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
