    250 ninjas do break

    So Jonny Kuo brought me his bike after this weekend and said his bike lost HPs on saterday and tested the shit we could at the track and it all looked fine so I put it on the dyno and sure as shit it made 19.5 HPs.
    So I looked at he IGN timing it was good, so decide to look to see if maybe the cams had skipped after a downshift or some such but no it all was good so I stepped back for a minute and looked again.
    I said to myself self where is the cam lobe on the intake cam, broke clean off and sitting on top of the head. Never seen anything like it, no damage anywhere else that I can see.
    So remember no matter what bike you ride shit breaks. :lol:

    I think the rulebook clearly states you can't use fewer lobes than stock form. Or wait, that was fewer LOWES.

    At least it isn't catastrophic!

    That's about how much mine was putting out at the beginning of the year when I had a leaky diaphragm after doing some jetting work. 17 HP running on 1 cyl.
