am i missing something here? in the first pic it shows a new looking piston with no gouge marks and the crumbs on top, then in the other pic thats the piston pieces that came out of the exhaust? In the first pic shouldnt you just be looking down at the bent rod and some pieces? or did the dome of the piston completely break free and stay up at TDC????

i would definitely ditch the grille, in the 2nd pic you can see its pretty much covering the whole top part of the radiator

cool, thats what i figured. not like you can even see it once its on. will be trying it out on a ride in a couple weeks, see how it does

Anyone ever hear anything about or run a Magnum Oversized Radiator? I just got one and as far as looks go i cant say im thrilled about it, but as long as it doesnt leak or anything i guess it doesnt matter. Thanks for any input

i was looking at the trail maps up there and saw a lot of it is dirt bike only, and some say you need a Secretary Of State license to be on them? What the hell is that?

thanks slobanshee actually, since you're from around there, we are staying at Oasis, what is the closest city for gas and food in case we need anything?

thanks for info, it does look a lot more promising in UT then it does in ID. Looking back at last year it did the exact same thing in ID but when we got there the weather broke and was perfect the whole week, sure hope it happens again

Me and my group are leaving wednesday to head out to Little Sahara UT until Sunday then going up to St.Anthony for a week, been watching the weather out there and it looks like its terrible. Has it been as bad as it looks on the TV? We've gone out to St Anthony every June for the last 4 years now, always had great weather, not looking too good for this trip though. Any word on if its supposed to get any better soon?

Trying to find a set of Cascade CSFX silencers for CPI small bores, i know this is a long shot but you never know. Thanks for any replies

I went threw so many of their stators and flywheels before finally giving up and telling them i dont want anymore warrantied parts, went back to stock parts and been great ever since. If you do run a stator or flywheel from them, i highly recommend always having a towstrap with you and bringing your stock parts as spares, you will need both. I wasted way too much time with them.

Cant say i would have guessed that was the problem. You must be on the hair line of a too lean idle, maybe adjust your pilot screw some or go up a pilot jet. It should be able to run with the filter off. At least its running again

You really should be getting a spark, i had a problem with mine not starting a while ago due to being frozen and i remember laying the plug/coil onto the top motor mount i think to check spark, and would get a consistent spark. So if you put yours there, it should spark. Do you have a DVOM meter? try checking the resistance between the head and negative cable of the battery. Double checking nothing bad happened when the flywheel was removed/installed was a good idea too Your cam timing (some people call it valve timing) still seems the most likely culprit. Its not as straightforward as it should, lining up the marks, especially with the cam mod done too. Easily could be off. You referring to a manual for how to do it? I think a compression test might be in order too, quick enough to do I have seen a lot of the intake boots tear too, usually tears inside the boot where it wraps around the carb, could have happened when you put the carb on or took it off

so does it get a consistent spark now? i would triple check your valve timing, and make sure your valve clearances are OK. A tight valve or the timing being off will lower your compression, making it hard starting and a bad idle

Have my cases split and am doing some work, and want to get the tranny working as good as i can. I have a couple questions about mods i always hear about, but you never see an explanation of them. At the moment i have the RZ shift forks with the roller followers, a new shift shaft, and i ground the shift star. So what exactly, in detail or even a pic, is the shift shaft mod? Also i want to side cut the gears on the dogs where the gears mesh together, anyone have a pic of it done? Is this typically only done for 5th gear? Thanks for any info

i vote the KT355s that come on the YFZ's, one of the best tires ive used. Very good in snow too
