I was planning on going 103cc 9.5:1 with a port job soon, but my bike is running so good with just the cams I'm not in any hurry to down it. That is a quick turn around on your heads. Happy Wrenchin!

same here the stage 1 didn't do much, but the 26h's sure did, might do the 103 at top end time, which I hope is a while.
The power now is plenty for Grandma and Me..

No way you would ever get me to tear down my bike during riding season.

Sounds like it will run nice when done.

Dang guys..... I feel all left out as my bike is back on the road today. Don those pics make the tear down look SO simple but I have to agree with the other post, that I cant tear my bike down on day 26 of sunshine!!!! I have some GREAT bug scars I will have to show ya when we meet again!

Well I know where to turn for help when the winter rolls around and I tear mine down as well.

Yeah plus two on the great bike **** Don.

Tim, the tear down process is fairly basic. There's not much you can't do to these machines as long as you have a service manual and some patience. About 3.5-4 hrs start to finish. I figure 7-8 to assemble.
