Recently read an article by Gary Hazel of Thumper racing who used to be a product testing engineer at Kawasaki. He stated that sunk intake valves are most generally caused by very light detonation. Too light to hear in fact. Says pump fuel for major cities has crap to reduce pollution and is not the best even in 91 octane premium. Recommends mixing in half race gas. Hmmmm On a similar heat related issue, a KTM engineer stated that cooked stators can often be traced back to riders who slip the clutch a lot and excessively heat up the lower end. Their big racing 4 strokes weren't meant to be ridden as a 2 stroke and clutch slippage should be avoided. Oky Doky.... Just 2 more tid bits to add to the warnings from other members to avoid over revving, keep the stator clean and dry, change the oil frequently, and adjust the valves regularly to make your Husaberg have a long and Happy life.
