how to fit a damn wrench in there

[cr 250]

hi, i'am in the process of adjusting the valves on my 01 yz 250f

.

now the adjusting valves is easy yes, but that hard part is getting everything out.

i cant get access to the right side cam tensioner bolt with anything, i tried rotating the carb abit and still couldn't get a grip on it,

i just can not see myself being able to torque it to spec once i have to put the tensioner back

the only way i can see myself getting a grip on the bolt is taking either the carb or the header off

man, just getting everything off is the hard part

Sorry Mate, I'd love to help but I'm not sure which bolt you're talking about. Can you explain what you are calling the "the right side cam tensioner bolt"?

Take a picture and post it up.

or buy a 2 stroke. ?

Easiest way is to use 1/4" drive socket with extension that 6-8" long. That's what I use and you can get it off and torqued back easily. Good luck.

They paid some little engineer guy a LOT of Yen to set that up like that. Either trying to force you to buy special tools, or just take it to the dealership to get it fixed.

Have you got a factory shop manual? It will tell you the best, quickest, way to get it done.

Ditto . no wrench used on this bolt.

yeah i've got a manual

at first it say remove carb, but people have told me you dont need to

i can undo with a small spanner

and thank god my 1/4 torque can just fit, looks like i wont have to take carb off

thanks everyone, yeah the extension should work, i'll try tomorrow

i try taking the carb off the motor boot thingy and moving, just need a extra set of hands to quickly tighten/tighten bolt, for once my brother becomes useful lol

If you loosen up the carb and turn it just a bit you can get a 1/4" drive and 8"+ extension in there and it'll be a snap.

Yep I just use a 1/4 inch drive ratchet with a deep 5/16 or 10 mil socket on the back one. Easy as pie.
