Hi Guys, I have a 77' 400 that I restored about a year ago. Problem is when the bikes engine gets hotter the worse it runs. I can hear the a sound like a...
Did you have an engine rebuild? Did you check ring end gap before reassembly? The ring ends can butt up when they are getting hot and the end gap is to small. ...
I'm pretty sure the ring end gap was checked. I had a competent machinist and engine builder rebuild my engine. He asked for the new piston while he was...

Ok .....1st , what octane of fuel (gas) are you using ? It should be a 91+ octane rating . 2. If there are no air leaks , it sounds like you could be running a...
I mix 93 octane with Yamalube R at 40:1 I have a 350 main jet currently. I'll try a larger jet when I get the chance. Will a bad CDI change timing when it...

Hey again Ken, Yeah, it’s 10:45P right now. I’m working on another computer for a friend. The fork oil should not be a hard find – everybody keeps it....
Why insist on 32:1? If your oil is any good you don't need more than 40:1 and 50:1 seems to work fine. I've had great luck with Yamalube for years and it...
