i went to set my buddies valves the other day since he was having problems starting it. And since he never had this done since it was new, i figured it was his problem. Well when i set it on TDC (yes the compression stroke) one exhaust valve was tight! so i figured here's the problem with it being hard to start, it was losing comp cause the valve was opened a bit. So i set the valves to spec and started it up and it then had a tapping noise.
so to make a long story short, i noticed i had to move the "T "mark about an 1/8 off to get all the valves to shut. thats when i figuered it had to of jumped time, and sure a ***** it did.
The cam chain stretched and allowed it to jump a tooth on the cam! I just like to know what kind of cheesy chains r they putting in these? this quad is all stock and only 5 months old.
And i knew of others around here who have replaced their chains as well. How many of you guys had this problem????
