Hey guys I own a 2004yfz.About 5 years ago I was riding it at st joe and when I brought it home I washed it.Well I took it down the road to wash it off and it died.No noises.No smoke no giant hole in motor.Just died.
Well it sat in my basement for the past 5 years collecting dust while I worked on my big block chevy nova.Anyway I recently took it out of the garage and took the motor out.Removed the head and cylinder and I found that sand had been sucked up inside the cylinder.
Last friday I ordered a new cylinder,Pistons,Rings,gaskets,circlips.Just gotta get new head bolts.
But while I was taking it apart I sat the head upside down and the little buckets with the shims in them fell off the top of valves.So I don't know which one went to which one.
What should I do to rememdy this situation.I would like to ride the bike a couple days before it gets to cold.
Thanks for any advice.It's good to be working on this bike again.Would love to be able to ride it.Feel that power again!
