also how do i tell the difference between pushrods if they are not colour coded and have bin mixed up
any help is muchly appreciated

 

First off, you should have a factory Service manual..... Get one, they're only $60 from the dealer... Starting with the shortest pushrod and moving up to the longest the position is as follows. Shortest-rear intake, the next shortest-front intake, the next shortest-rear exhaust and the longest-front exhaust.
oh yea Incase I forget, get a FSM...

 

ok thank you i will be getting a manual right away

 

theres a bang type sound wen i go to start my bike not sure the cause any ideas?

 

got the manual now to

 

After you installed the pushrods did you turn the motor over by hand to make sure all the valves are adjusted properly and not smacking a piston?

 

When you get your factory service manual, be sure to follow the procedure carefully.

If you do not follow the procedure exactly as it is written, you will be back here asking why you have a bent pushrod or valve.

 

yhx i let u no how i make out

 

Best of luck! For future reference we have a dedicated Evo section, where you can meet up with fellow owners, so call in there.
