First off, i thought i was "wrench literate" but this 360 is killing me. So far I've burned up two cams and three sets of rockers. My most recent fubar, i noticed that there is no wear on the back side of the cam lobes... The rockers are toast! The only mods are: drilled larger oil passages to...

Honda made an enduro as well, a little 250 but here are a few other options the Yamaha ...

no, I used a tire air hose combined with the adapter from a compression tester. This way I was able to not only get a reading, but monitor the leak down. Didn't matter much, when I heard all that air coming out of the header. Just re-engineered the kick-compression test, by injecting air into...

Sir Trek! We All Bow To Your Existence!!! ::) Well, the 2nd refit did have pegs for my shorty! And I read that article you posted (or someone did) on fried cams. So when I had the case open to install the new clutch and springs, I was able to slightly mod the pickup tube with a grinder, hammer...
