the sticky bandit has struck again :mhihi:

good work Duane, once again!!! :clap:

we need a "pat on the back" smilie



just one thing to make it a bit easier, its not a necessity to remove the ACCT, you an just "unload" the preload on it, and there is enough slack in the cam chain to do the job. I find its alot quicker when you dont have to stuff around removing the 2 bolts that hold it in as there isnt much room to work there

GOOD WORK :bowdown: :bowdown:

 

A select few edits and relocation of the pics. Thanks for the suggestion. :smile:

 

It says the photos have been moved or deleted. Can you put the pictures back up?

 

I'm starting to hate photobucket.....nothing but problems lately. Sorry for the delay. :icon_neutral:

 

duane- did you upload them like I told you in a pm?

 

I know how to do it :clap: but I just have to make time.....which it seems I have alot of but some things have to be first and some things have to be last. :mhihi:

 

They're up now. Looking good. I gave a friend of mine this link and I just thought I'd take a look over it again and I noticed the pictures weren't working. Wanted to make sure the guy got to see all the pics to go with it. Thanks for fixing it.

 

Can everybody see these pics in the first post? I've gotten a few PM's saying peeps can't see them. :wtf:

 

I see them

 

I see them....THANKS!!!!

 

somthing ive been thinking about, can you check the valves with the came more, or do you need to put it back to stock timing before you check them

 

Same clearances as stock timing or YZ timing (cam mod). :smile:

 

What size allen head do I need to take off the crankshaft cover..My number 10 isnt big enough. Then what size to spin it?

 

oh boy, this is alot different than the honda setup

sou you can only use shims, eh?

 

What is the "cam mod" that you were talking about? If I'm running a stock exhaust and header-actually, everything on my motor is stock except my K&N air filter, stock jetting even-would it be worth my time to put in high performance cams? What can I do to my existing cams to enhance my machine's performance(if anything?) If I do decide to look into doing a cam mod, which cams and from where should I put in? Should I even worry about doing ANY kind of cam modifications if I'm still running a stock exhaust? I'm working with a limited budget, and would like to know where to start on this pretty much bone stock machine. Thanks!!!

The cam mod is that the timing from factory is advanced causing the detination to be a tad early. you can relieve this by retarding the timing by one tooth or rejetting to run a higher octane gas. i havent heard of anyone one using higher octane but everyone does tghe cam mod. i am actually doing the cam mod and adjusting the valves this wekend and i will let you know the difference it makes.

Good post!

 

Alright, i did the cam mod and completely forgot to post the results. It was a bit of a headache to adjust the vavles and such but while your doing the vavle adjustment ( which should be once a year fo casual riders and twice a year or more for racers) you should just do the cam mod while you are there. one thing,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, take the spacers between your carb boot clamps out, they cause me am incredible pain because under a laod it was still sucking air. i wen throug complete h@ll because of that with jetting, timing check and all of that , took me a weeek or so to find it and fix it. now my jetting is so screwed up i am still trying to fix that.

So how was the cam mod? Also where is the best place to get shims, the dealer?

I ordered a set of Hot Cams shims from Paul at Woodward Specialties. $70 or so....I have enough shims to adjust everyones 4-stroke that I ride with. :icon_eek: :mhihi:

Or you could get them from your dealer.

LOL- These should be a in stock item?

OK....here's my opinion.


Each motor is different and when it comes time to adjust the valves each one may need a different shim size. The "kit" prevents you from having to wait on your dealer to order them one at a time. My local dealer doesn't carry jack for parts so when my valves need adjustment it's getting done when it's apart. Not when the dealer finally gets the shims I need. :clap:

I thought it was W3RD...or something like that. :mhihi:


Oh yeah.....do the cam mod. It's free. :smile:
