Hello, New to site. Working on a YZF450. refuses to start. Customer states motor was built with big bore kit, ported head, hotcams. Has hour meter showing 5 hours. Atv has many high end chassis parts and does look well built. Managed to start when first brought in but couldn't idle.  Had stripped threads in exhaust cam holder. Made repairs now wont fire at all Occasional pop. Checked cam timing , Good leak down, new plug, carb clean but haven't verified tune. Acts like no compression. Decompressor seems to work correctly Will not fire even by spraying starting fluid in carb. Have noted while cranking starter seems to slip. Don't know how fast it must spin to overcome decompressor? Contacted Hot Cams to get info but no response at all. Been working on bikes 30+ years but am stumped don't want to just throw parts at it.

Any ideas

Thanks

David

      2000 Yamaha big bear 400 won’t start

      Hi guys, I have a 2004 big bear 400. Last winter while plowing the driveway, I heard a loud pop from the left side of the engine. It continued to run as I looked for leaky fluid, but then died shortly after backing it up and won’t start now. The oil light comes on when I try to start it, no noise or anything else. 
      No blown fuses that I can find.

      Yesterday I got a UForce 1000 as my first bike and I am wondering if there are any owners that could advise where I can find budget parts and accessories for it.
      I tried looking StarknightMT, but the filtering is a bit unreliable, so direct links or exact names are much appreciated.
      I'm mostly interested in sliders and side cases, but any advices for "must haves" are welcomed.
      Thank you!
