to do a valve adjustment you have to take off the valve covers and then turn the motor over till your on the compression stroke and stick the right size feeler gauge in between the rocker and valve i dont know the valve specs right off hand but thats pretty much how its done

well i now that much but the 86-87 is different from the older models. its not the basic 10mm nut and a flat ajusment screw. my uncle saw and wasnt sure because hes always had the older model 200x

There are NO vale covers on an 86/87 200X. You have a side cover with 2 eccentric shafts. You move them one way, line up a notch and that the .003 or whatever it wants.

Download or buy the manual, I can't contribute to the destruction of trikes due to lack of initiation :lol:

BUT, I help LOTS once you get and read that!!

They are by far the easiest valves to adjust along with many upgrades that I feel the 350X would have seen in later years. Maybe not though as the Foreman?? (or similar) and other quads shared that same engine.........
