I need to put new valves both on intake and exhaust side bc my valve lash clearance was 0. In order to put new Valves in, can I use old shims or do I need new ones? New springs also?

Have U tried adjusting them first ? With new valves and seats u will probably be wise to pick up a shim kit !

I did try to adjust them, they were off by a lot and the intake valve keeper broke off which damaged the valve stem. So I got 4 new valves just to be on the safe side. The stock ones aren't as durable I've read. Got kibblewhites

Isn't the valve lash adjustable on that model?

Yeah I suppose so. Just gotta remove the shims and add diff sizes.

      I've been using Valvolene 10w 40 ATV oil but, it's like $8.00 a quart. Is that about the going rate? Or is there cheaper alternatives that would be suitable? Thanks

      Hello all!
      I was given a 2000 Suzuki Quadrunner 500 (Quad 500 Runner?) and its current state is a bit of a mystery!  
      Kept indoors but hasn't been run in 5 years.  We're not trying the engine until the gas is replaced, and the tires are reinflated. But the previous owner said their only issue was stalling when shifting to reverse without giving some throttle.
      I'm optimistic!  See y'all around!

      My 2004 Yamaha Grizzly 660 seat is a mess, torn up, cracked, and I have been duct taping it for a while.  I bought new vinyl for $35 and need to do it one day. A new seat used to be well over $250 but now its under $100 so I couldn't resist. I got it on ebay with a 10% off coupon for $85.05 plus tax. https://www.ebay.com/itm/146040022154
      In case anyone is looking for a new seat for their Yamaha Grizzly 😁

       
      I saw it on Amazon as well for under $100

      Hey all, I have a new to me RSX850i that has a lot of exhaust smell in the cab and seems overly loud. I did check the pipes to the can and they seem tight, but you can't see much as they have a heat shield on them. Looking online these machines are loud in the cab to start with, but not too many posts regarding broken pipes and or exhaust smell in cab.
