Most sites state 165A CCA and 12AH for the YUASA, so the 135A and 8AH of the 4 cell is just not enough. Replacement of the YB12A-A is the 8 cell...
Boiling water should do. Specs are 98~102 Celsius.
That reminded me my adventure back in the day... While being a student I had a GSX400E which I pampered in a daily basis. I had reached the...
I had a GSX400E with a mechanical clutch and then went to the VF500 and just loved the hydraulic. No more jerky engaging, no oiling, no cable...

The only reference I have seen about cam lift was in Cycle 07/84. Intake was given as 7.8mm, exhaust was given as 7.6mm. We can safely assume...
