How To: Daddog Cam Mod w/Video's

[Woody_393]

If you don't like to read all this sentimental stuff, just scroll down to the good videos...

The best way to explain something in my opinion is with pictures. I think writing is a necessary chore to get things accomplished, that is about it. Give me the pictures.

Anyway, it was cold outside one day (about 15 degrees), and we couldn't ride because it was too dark. So the dogriders sat down one saturday night, put on their coveralls, and shot this video in the dogrider studio. (Garage).

Coming from a 2-stroke Banshee world, where all repairs were just simple garage work, opening a 4-stroke motor for the first time is just a little worrisome. "What will I find in there?" Am I going to hurt anything? Can I really fix anything? Well, when we bought the YFZ-450 we soon discovered that we were going to have to learn how to repair it. So we bought a YFZ-450 manual and found good forum sites on the internet.

There are 12 videos in order, and just watch 1 through 12 to see how the dogriders are learning to do basic engine work.

Click on the videos to see step by step how the dogriders did the cam change, and how they did valve checks and valve spacer changes.
