Honda VFR800 VTEC Valve Clearance Inspection, Part 1 - Tearing Down The Bike To Get At The Valves!
Channel: Kev's Shed
Date: 2021-03-07

Hello everyone and welcome back to the channel!

Here we have the much requested video detailing the valve clearance inspection on the 6th Gen Honda VFR 800 VTEC.

This is a mammoth task and one that costs an absolute fortune at a Honda main dealer or even at an independent.

This is the first part of the task, which I have neatly broken down into 3 separate episodes, the next two parts can be found by following the links at the end of this video.

As promised, below are the links to all of the gaskets that will be needed to complete this job. I will not add part numbers of any VTEC lifters or shims as the part number is determined by the thickness and would therefore be entirely pointless!

Bear in mind that the combined cost of all of the gaskets below, which are all genuine Honda items is £231.41!!
