Completely AWESOME! Sounds like I need to quit my job and sell my house. Sounds like something to call home! Think I'm the only banshee with the group I'm coming with. All a good bunch of guys.. They just don't know quality equipment yet (lol) Thanks for the info. I'm pumped on going now too!

Several of us are going that weekend. We didn't know about the event, just kinda happened that way. None of us have ever been there before. What can we expect?

Damn good advise! Definatly pop the head and look around. I'd pull the jugs too since your down that far. Last time I had a goofy problem like that, it launched a piston.

Don't trust the ohms readings anyway! I've got a box full of bad stators that all ohm good. The lighting coils and the ignition coils are seperate as well. (checking the lighting voltage don't tell you anything about the ignition output. The only way to test an AC ignition system is running under load. The last one I failed ran fine up to half throttle, then got sick when the pipes turned on. Drove me insane figuring it out. Stator ohmed good, but was junk. Faulty stators normally run worse the warmer they get. (will run worse if you can get it to run long enough) Will sound like it's dropping a cylinder but not enough to be able to tell which one. (spark is still there, just very weak) Catch up with me if you still need help nailing it down.

If you know anything about doing engine work you will be fine. Main thing: Get a manual and Yamabond! Torque specs are critical. I'd stay away from ebay. The seals in these things will trash your power plant if they cross leak. (had it happen) Definatly take the time to pressure test it before you put it back on the frame. http://www.mrcrankshaft.com/
