By now, the reader has probably figured out what took me all afternoon. The timing marks finally clued me in: maybe the valves needed adjustment. Yep, the exhaust valve was really tight, so it was leaking pressure, rather than allowing compression to build. I set it at 0.004" and confirmed that the intake was also at 0.004", reassembled it and hit the button

Another great example on how poorly adjusted valves show up in all sorts of odd problems.

Another thing that could have caused no starting after a crash could have been a damaged sidestand, brake, or clutch 'safety' kill switch, or the kill switch itself.

I took it for a victory cruise, and was rewarded with a wicked gunshot-like backfire upon coming to a stop.

Is that even legal in Canada? :wink:
