Already tried that, (advancing the cam 1 tooth) what a dog it turned into!
Milling my head retarded my cam 1/2 tooth so I thought I would try advancing it and figured out quick that was the wrong direction to go! I had heard retarding it would help low end and advancing it would help top end. Since I had plenty of low end, I tried it, all in the name of science of course.
as far as the Iridium, I timed it and it consistently came out to be .3 seconds (3 tenths of a second) faster on my little drag strip. The gain was at the lower rpm's. Not much faster but noticeable. probably a bike length at full speed if you were drag racing.

The pipe on the head needs a tube about 18" long and I zip tied it to the frame.
The tube on tyhe left side cover is a vent for the cvt cover and I also tip tied it to the frame.
Be careful not to pinch the hoses when tying them to the frame.

Yamoto 150cc Review
There was a show in Phoenix for Big Boys and Their Toys this weekedn. Last year, the Yamoto were the talk fo the show. Great quality, we'll always have parts, etc.
This year, not one Yamoto in site, and all of those dealers want nothing to do with them. I'm doing good with mine, but I probably need rear wheel bearings soon. I haven't been able to find a dealer in Phoenix now.
Has anyone seen anything on the Yamoto resale values, or did we all buy disposable quads??

If I had to guess man, I think we all bought disposable quads. But, on the other hand I consider it to be a cheap learners quad for my son. And then a hand-me-down to my 5 yr old daughter and then my youngest son (if it last that long). I have tought my son that things in life will last a long time if you take good care of them, hopefully this thing will.

I am not sure what the resale value of a yamoto might be. I wouldnt guess it would be much, but it was cheap to begin with. I think if they are ridden hard and or not maintained they will be disposable for sure. If ridden like it was designed to be(I say slow just based on the stock suspension)and maintained I think they will last a while. That is based on my experience with the 04 150. I cant say about the 110 and others.
