  1. YFZ450 shocks and a reworked rear would offer a pretty cost effective benefit.
  2. Welcome to 2004. If you're lucky you can sell your house now before the market shits on your face.
  3. Climbanyhill is correct, BJ's require less maintenance, and are quieter. However, this does not mean that they cannot fail like the above picture. The only way to prevent that would be to- 1) place the heim in double shear, capturing it. 2) using a safety washer over the head of the bolt. The benefits of a heim over a BJ come in, to me, these three areas- 1) double shear possiblities 2) off the shelf replaceable, since you're just using a bolt there are no tapers to match 3) more articulation when used in combination with a hi-mis spacer Uniballs are tougher heims. They, unlike the other two, require a welded-in cup, so no adjustments there. On the flip side, the cup is reusable, you only replace the bearing itself.
  4. A new spring would be the right choice. If you can find the spring rates available, do some math, you might have the right setup for it to work.
  5. Also, you could patch the hole and then blow out the dent. It requires a little air pressure and some heat.
  6. Pull the hose off the 'tee', aim it towards not you. Open petcock to 'res'. PS, a shot of air in the vent line will decrease your drain time.
  7. Just need a TIG, wonder why no one would do it?
  8. You're saying that when you start it, the tires turn in a direction other than forward? Knowing the starter, I don't think that's possible.
  9. So you're after an electronic cutting break? Sweet.
  10. Well, his name does include UAE . . .
  11. What's the point of this, corrosion issues?
  12. Not a bad idea. I used to do mine every winter, not so much anymore.
  13. Too bad they don't make them anymore, otherwise you could get a sweet crate from the yami dealer.
  14. Holds extra power bands too.
  15. Not many people have, or even know of, snap gauges. Besides- he's not boring, just giving some data. Pitts, I guess that's possible. What are you going to do about this situation?
  16. What are your plans for cleaning up the cylinders every time you adjust the timing? Flex hone + drill press?
  17. Post a pic please. Otherwise: 1) Mill 2) Lathe 3) ?????? 4) Profit
  18. That is excellent. . . right up until you make your intake divider a little too thin and it relieves itself into your cylinder head. If you're gonna do it take it slow, slow, slow.
  19. Ass backards. Measure the bore, determine amount of material to be removed, then order pistons. When pistons arrive mic them, and bore accordingly. Much tighter tolerances can be held this way, but it takes a little more time.
  20. Psssh, you don't own a cam grinder? Some mechanic you are.
