ha, ill be gettin 1 soon, only 1/4" of adjustment left, that pretty freakin low correct? valves were perfect, no adjusting needed.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

yeah that's where mine are on both the 01 and 02 so I'm not chancing it $50 is way better than $250 to replace the whole head and valves

 

[YAMAHAULER]

I'm thinking about going with the YBN because of cost but would like some opinions first good bad same as the others?

 

[YAMAHAULER]

anyone have any opinions???

stock yamaha one is best.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

stock yamaha one is best.

and how much is the stock oem timing chain from Yamaha?

 

[Gen1Pat]

Around 40-45 bucks from partswarehouse.com factory chains are best in these bikes.

 

[JonS]

i'd say OEM first and then D.I.D. they make good chains as well.

^^^ ditto ... i never used wiseco's so i cant give any info on theirs

 

[Gen1Pat]

I have had good luck with the d.i.d. chains on other bikes.

 

[YAMAHAULER]

Well just wanted some opinions cause my buddy just got all his parts together to rebuild his 94's top end and he spent $60 on the Wiseco timing chain which I thought was a little pricey.

so D.I.D is pretty good then hey?

 

[jasonp]

a d.i.d chain is not as hd as the stock one.

 

[Gen1Pat]

I would just get the factory chain... they are about the same price as aftermarket depending on who you get it from.
