86 250SX valve adjustment

[fabiodriven]

I feel silly asking this guys, but I don't know how to find the manual for my machine on here even after being here all these years. I need to adjust my valves on my 86 SX and I don't know the specs. I'm assuming I do it when the trike is warmed up as well. Any help?

Is this a joke? :p

Valves are always adjusted cold in case you are serious

Fabio I got the PDF for the 250sx manual, I will try to email it to you.

Set the gap cold Fabio..the gap is to compensate for valve expansion with heat. Set it warm and your gap will be way over on cold start..

Here is a picture of the page from the manual. If you need more I can do pictures, the manual is too big to email.

Thanks to everyone! Job is done! I'm still used to wrenching on pingers for the last few years I guess!

Want to do mine next? HAHA. Gotta do my sx too.

It took 20 minutes Mike, and that was taking my time. I didn't open the hole for the "T" mark, I just found TDC by myself. Plenty of room to get in and out of there.
