Default YS 110 valve adjustment OOPS!

Hi Dave...

I just gotta ask you if you ever heard of such a thing happening to someone BESIDES ME!!!

I was adjusting the valves on my 110, and using a nut dtiver to re-tighten the locking nut...


WHEN SNAP!!!

THe Rocker Arm broke right in my hand!

Right where the adjusment screw goes through..the rocker broke!

I must have missed your parts people tonight..and now have to wait until Monday to order the part...(I'm going to replace both intake and exhaust to play it safe!)
But have you ever heard of this happening??..

I mean it was a small nut driver, I can't imagine being able to generate enough torque to break the rocker arm?!?!?!

If it weren't for BAD LUCK!!!!

If you tighten it too much, it will break. Snug it down, let it be. You're not the first, and you won't be the last.

PM all your info to me and I will forward it to the parts dept.
