Valve Lifter tool Required

[magikstick]

Does anyone have a valve lifter tool i can borrow? Ive been using a C clamp with a socket piece to pull the tappets out but im having problems putting them back in if anyone has any other DIY valve lifter tools they would like to share or if you have the actual tool let me know. Thanks

Is for a cbr 250 engine?

If so I have such a special tool.

Sorry, im confused. Are you looking for a valve spring compressor? To remove valve collets?

Or are you somehow actually lifting your valves with a g clamp and removing your tappets? Do gixxers even have tappets?

Do you know what you are doing?

The powerband is under the valves right?

Powerband is next to the No.2 pitch rate gyro, Floating diodes are under the valves.

Might be good to mention where you are too.

from what i gleaned , yes he is removing collets , thats the easy part using bush mechanics

getting em back in is the harder part

Yep. I gleaned that as well. Since he didn't post a location though, i just figured i'd whore it up a bit.


Point of fact, a valve spring compressor can be had from supercheap for about 20 bucks. Dont know why you wouldn't just buy one.
