[QUOTE="Jaybird, post: 1221334, member: 22283"] granthamtm, I highly suggest you look into changing your exhaust cam out with a new auto-decompression type. It will completely change the character of the bike and how it starts. The decompression lever is removed, and the starting ritual is a thing of the past. If I'm not mistaken, you can use a new cam from a YZ450, or do like I did and chose an after market component. I went with the HotCams model. It is a bit pricey, and may have an ever-so-slightly different lobe than the stock auto-decomp for the 450. But these guys put out top shelf work. (IMO) [url]http://www.hotcamsinc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=cProducts.view&productid=488[/url] The change-out (done properly) involves having to re-shim the exhaust valves, and checking and/or changing the intake valve shims, which the bike is more than likely due for anyway. But don't let shimming valves scare you off...Nikki provides a good tutorial here (somewhere) that describes the procedure, and she swears it no big job for her. It will be money well spent. You and the old man will not regret it. [/QUOTE]
