I need a vid for a 1983 yammy 200k.

I found a good one on DRays YouTube channel, but that is for a Honda 200s.

My valves are beginning to chatter a little.

Your service manual should walk you through it just fine. In my opinion i think adjusting valves are something that people overthink, its one of the most simple things to do. Easier than changing your oil.

Nothing to screw up, tdc, valves loose, use a feeler and set them to whatever the manual says. Adjust to slight drag on the feeler, tighten the nut. Done!

Just realize that if it has an adjusting nut once you tighten it you be changing that adjustment so check them again to be sure.

I always try to double hand it, hold the adjuster with needle nose vice grips and tighten with an open end wrench. But still, double check it..
