yamarider426 Posted September 28, 2005 I understand what everybodys talking about why they want decomp cams in their bikes and or putting 450 cams in the 426. My question is (and bare with me I havent been in this thumper deal for too long) if the 450 cams will allow you to take the decomp lever off on a 426 why do 450's have a decomp lever on them? I would never put 450 cams in my 426 but b/c of all the uncertainties but Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MotoNatz88 Posted September 28, 2005 I think the lever you are seeing it the hot start lever that is now up on the handlebars. The auto decompresion is very well worth it. I love my 03' it feels like a 125 when you are kicking it over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cowboyona426 Posted September 28, 2005 The lever on the 450 is the hot start, not a decomp. Read the thread at the top of the forum, thousands of us have done the 450 cam mod to our 426's and I've yet to hear of one failure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
800screws Posted September 28, 2005 also hotcams makes a decomp exhuast cam that lines up correctly with the stock timing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yamarider426 Posted September 28, 2005 So the lever I am seeing on the new 450's is the same thing as the red pull-out on my carb? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
