A clymers manual tells you everything you need to know step by step. It tells you everything else you can think of too.

$60 is most likely a fortune to a lot of 250ex owners.. hey brandon, why dont you do a little write up on how to do it and maybe some of these guys can save a chunk of money. its more fun to learn how to do it yourself anyway.

60 dollars is a small price to pay compared to blowing up your engine

I can guarentee I adjust my valves better, and watch what I am doing better than any dealer. Most of the time you are just a dollar sign to them.

id rather save the money and know its being done right than pay a ridiculous labor fee and not even know if they're truly at the correct clearance. its not hard to learn..
