[QUOTE="Trfsrfr, post: 209305, member: 3959"] Me and my buddy Dan have been working on his 83 CR480 and we finally got it running this week, so this morning we took the YZ and the CR out for a ride, and put about 15 miles on. It was my first real test drive of the YZ. The YZ runs okay/good I think (with my limited experience), but it feels slightly boggy before it hits the powerband. But when it hits, it goes like a raped ape. When I got it home there was some spooge coming out the muff. So I am assuming I am still running rich. Now that I am back in the garage and have some football on I am going to mess with it. I think I might drop the jet needle one position, recheck the float level, and run it again tomorrow. I will also double check the compression. If anyone wants to add their .02 I am all ears open. Interesting note; we switched bikes near the end of the ride, and I would have to say that his 480 is comparable to the YZ in power and speed, but his rise to power feels a bit more linear, like a 4-stroke, unlike the sudden burst that the YZ has. It also has a very cushy seat and feels like a racy Cadillac, just my initial thoughts. Also thought the YZ could use another gear, and disc brakes are awesome. [/QUOTE]
