Guest redzrx Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Does anyone know if the 2004 le mans have hydralic valves or not. I have read different magazines where they say it does have and others which say they don't .. so which is it.. I know the cruzers got them in 2003..

al_roethlisberger Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 AFAIK none of the "sport" models received hydraulic lifters, although initial marketing for the 2003 bikes did mention it. There really isn't any advantage to hydraulic lifters IMHO on these bikes as the valves are so easy to adjust, and really don't even need valve adjustments that often. And in the application on the "sport" bikes, hydraulic lifters are a disadvantage for our pushrod motors as they'll be a little sloppier on the timing, esp at high RPM. al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest redzrx Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 Thanks al thats what I thought.. in terms of higher RPM.. all jap sport bikes require manual valve adjustments. Mario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
