I think I paid $110 for the 2003 YZ450 exhaust cam from North County Yamaha in San Diego. No way would I go back to that horrid routine. Three levers? I only have two hands!
The bike started way easier under ALL conditons. People, try to be honest with yourselves. No decompression release? Sell that story to somebody else. Buy hey, if the bike starts as easy as you say it does, why shell out the extra dough? I can only speak from my own expereince of being a former YZ426 owner. I made sure to eat my Wheaties when I knew I was going to be giving that mutha a kick, or two, or three, etc.....
