BArtlettRacing,s good friend JERRY has a new YFZ and it has also blown up. I heard it at the Dunes the week before it blew,and it sounded like you could hear the Piston going up/dowm on every revolution, like the cylinder has paper thin. After he got it home, a few minutes of riding BOOOOM! YFZ down!


Gotta love them Yamaha's boy![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]





Bigger.

i have always wanted to go check out the track at indianola, one of my friends cuzins own the track there and have told me i could flag a corner there b4 so i think that i will try to make it to that one and the one in bussey is only 30 miles south of my place. hopefully i can get some of my buddies talked into racing at indianola.

Cases are on back order so I hope you're getting a new motor. I don't really know what the problem is but I have been told it is the piston pin it's self, and that maybe why I have not seen any problems with are 470's.

Why don't you re-read my post smarty before you start calling me a basher. You won't find one bash out of my 1100+ post.
