And careful with the little round guides, which are hollow cylinders for the cam cap bolts also, and might come up with the cam caps when you pull them up. Don't lose one in the motor, or put them back in backwards. Beveled end up. While we're at it, easy on the valve cover bolts.....very light torque the best.

The bike had fallen off a dock and dumped in the ocean - I am going to try and fix it up. I am looking for recommendations on where to get electrical parts (wiring harness, CDI box, gage assembly) and what to look for as I go through the bike. I am really looking forward to getting it running.

Heard in the Pits: KTM: New stage winner, Esteve Pujol. The pressure is off and the boys are trying to have a little fun. Joking around, someone ask what the LC in 660LC stood for? Replies: Roma says - Lost Cause, Kini - Loose Control, Cox - Lost Completely. BMW - Business as usual for the works riders, ride fast but in control. Sainct did have new engine installed last night - but everything OK, just playing it safe. 2nd set of new chains for F650RR, and drive shaft #12 for Woody. Jimmy has learned a new long distance racing techniques from his European riding buddies, its called mind music. As you are racing you just re-play favorite tunes in your head according to the conditions. In regard to Jimmy's winning stage #13 he said, "I am a California guy and like the Beach Boys' stuff. I start with "California Girl" when things are easy, then as we hit the desert I go with - "Surfin' Safari", as we pressing a little harder -"Dance, Dance,Dance", then as we entered the whoops - "Good Vibrations" and "Whole Lotta Shak'n Going On (not BB, tell me who?), then as Cox and I were racing flat out across the desert at the finish line - "Round, Round, I get Around." What makes it so nice is that with Woody - I don't have to remember the tunes at all. See with Woody, all I gotta do it punch the go button on the CD player-changer-recorder-intercom, wireless modem,..... thingy." When ask about what tunes he choose when he was having so much tire trouble, Lewis replied; "'Slip Sliding Away, When you know your destination, it keeps slip sliding........" Kawasaki: Kaw back in Race. Rider re-surfaces after a 10 hour penalty, 105 overall. Seems gearing specialist wanted 16T front sprocket. Went to dealer and dealer no got. Finally get and it the wrong one. Team loose much valuable time. When ask what they do next time, all they say, "We go -Fred First" ( Knot say good things about Fred, Knot looking for place to stay in Moab, Knot like Sharon ......) Knot Z.
