I agree that it's overboard and I doubt it will get enough traction, but you have to admit there is a certain level of satisfaction here. I'll be very, very glad when we finally have a President that isn't so eager to finance the war machine, one that'll fix the massive amounts of debt that Reagan, ...

Nicky is a punk. Pure southern trash and I can say that with some authority as I have family up on Owensboro, KY where he's from.

I really don't understand jets anyway. Is there a FAQ on Mikuni or other jets somewhere I should read ? I don't understand why a smaller jet is a move up :roll:

I'm definitely on track to buy 4. Working 2 days OT this week to pay them off. Would have had it before now but with the YZF being off the road, the gas of driving the SUV is kickin' my budget huge.

Unfortunately I didn't see any info stamped on the jets. They are significantly smaller than the stock jets but there is not denying that she's running a lot richer. Starts right up though. :poke EDIT : I think you're referring to "Factory Pro Config. 10 Carb Recalibration Kits" then yes, that's the...

I got them out. Continued freezing them and took out some of my frustrations with the hammer. I think the screwdriver is a lot worse for wear however that's a lot cheaper than my efforts at drilling out steel bolts in an aluminum block. I suppose my next challenge is to attempt to find replacements ...

Thanks for the reply. I'll try drilling them out. Since I've never had these screws out, can you tell me if the screw has a V shaped (countersunk) head ?

The three Fates stopping my valve adjustment cold

Or "How do I get the three screws holding the crank plate on the left side of the motor out ?". I'm patient. Really, I am ! I work with people all night who have no clue as to why they're calling my company and no clue on how to use a computer. I'm surrounded by managers that have no idea what I do....

I have some fond memories of the first time I saw a V-Max in action. I was riding a Honda 450 which was pretty sweet little ride actually. I think it was mid-'86 and I had pulled into a 7-Eleven for a late night coffee. This rider walked out of the store while I was taking my helmet off and he fired...

Lifter tool ?

I'm about read to try checking/adjusting the valves on my YZF1000. I have the HotCams kit. Do I need a special tool to life the lifters off the springs ?
