help with yzf 750 motor

Ari:<br>Thanks for your note.Two mechanics in the shop with experience with 5 valve motors are convinced from the sound that it is valve guides, not a cam chain etc. Based on my experience rebuilding Triumphs (Meriden, not Hinkley) and Nortons a valve guide is nothing. Actually I am hearing lots of ...
