Just realized while trying to finish up my complete engine build that there is supposed to be a small spring and plunger that sits right under the camshaft. I didn't notice before now and it's not there anymore. Either I flipped the head upside down when I took it off a couple months ago or it fell off while the machine shop had it.

Anybody got one laying around you can send me? I can paypal. Thanks :ermm:

just FYI. If you ever are running a Hotcam or any other aftermarket cam you will not need that plunger and spring. But if it is a stock cam the bike will not run without it.

If you cant find anyone with the spring and plunger here are the part numbers.

Spring: 14126- KV2 -940

Plunger: 14125 - KV2 -940

OK so who's got one with a spring laying around?

I'll call the shop tomorrow if nobody has one but would rather get one from one of you guys with paypal.
