We had to cut out camping trip short this wk end :grr: was riding threw some whoops pretty hard when out of nowhere....Its starts ticking:huh ....(The Predator).....ITs ticking from the motor.......Would this be a Cam possibly????Any other things to check also???? This is a stock Cam with HCpiston and HPD Valve springs......
We have a big Group ride in two weeks to St. Anthonys Sand Dunes so we dont have much time to figure it out and get if fixed.......
Just need some of your input on what it couls be or what to check......It off to our Mechanic this week hopefully.....[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/img]


Thanks,

I can't really help with the problem Tina, but you may call Doug Nicholas(number on website) and he would probably know......If there is something wrong with the cams, I strongly suggest getting a pair of his cams...lots of power there.

 

He will be the first to talk to before ordering anything......[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img] What Cam is it that he has????? Last he told us that Stock was the best at the time so thats what we have ran this whole time.........
Troy felt some power loss a couple of weeks ago so we had the Valves checkeds and the Comp. The Comp. was fine but the mechanic told us that the Valves were too tight so he Adj. them..Maybe something went wrong then since this was the firs time riding it after he tweeked the Valves a bit......

 

The stock cams are good.....and there is some brand of cams out there that actually causes power loss and rev loss.....his cams the stock cams the he has ground to make perfect......he now sells them, and highly suggests them.....he also has a cdi that works well with his cams. I think he has some nice valves too, with titanium retainers?? Call and talk with him for a bit.....he loves to talk!! You may also check out his website, it tells some stuff, but not everything.

 

I know.He is Troys sponsor for 2004[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
Doug actually told Troy that his Cam would not be good and did not suggest it(I just remembered this now!!) for MX and flatrrack Its set up more for Drag racing unless he something thats very new that we didnt know about..... Ill give him a Buzz tomorrow....

 

That may be correct Tina.....I have no idea on what the cams are used for, I know for drag racing. They aren't new, so you are probably right. The stock cams are very good, that is nice to know too. Good to hear about the sponsorship!!!
