[QUOTE="WOODSGUY, post: 95715, member: 17726"] [b]Got it running![/b] I got this afternoon and proceded to put it back together. New plug, made sure it was firing and commenced to kicking. The thing I noticed was that I couldnt find top dead center. No matter what i did the bike would kick through every time. Not like the compression release was pulled in but still I couldn't find the hard spot. It tried to fire but just wouldn't light up. What I did next may or may not have been the right thing to do but I went ahead and broke out the 4-wheeler and a couple of tie-downs. After pulling it around the yard a few times my brother pulled in the cluth and let out on it and it fired right up. It ran fine. We killed it and I went to crank it up and low and behold top dead center. I pulled in the compression release and did the YZF start procedure and it fired right up. Starts every time. As I am new to 4 strokes could a valve have been "stuck"? Was what I did a mistake? Is there something I should take apart and fix? Also thanks for all your input. [/QUOTE]
