    I just got the Athena 300 kit for my '07 TE250 (sweet deal--got it for 50% off via a coupon in my Scrub Pine Enduro registration pack--thanks, Athena!!), and I'll be putting it on in the next couple of weeks. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but I don't have a shop manual. Do I need one?

    The instructions with the kit are on the order of, "1. You-a take-a off the cylinder head. 2. You-a take-a off the cylinder and pistone. 3. You putt-a on-a the new things."

    I've done piston, rings, valve seals on four-strokes before, but I always had the cookbook to follow. Any pitfalls to avoid with the Husky? Should I get a manual first?

    Call George @ Uptite 1 714 540-2920. He should be able to boil it down for you....probably just torque, clearance and lubrication hints.

    Dang! I'd sign up for that enduro just to get the coupon! Did everyone get one of those coupons? Anyone not going to use theirs?

    It's probably best if you just sent me the Athena kit and I reimbursed you for your costs.. ;)

    I installed one. real EZ. If you know how to reset the cam timing and a few torque specs your good to go.

    Kelly-

    Easy to get the jetting dialed in beautifully with the 300?

    Thanks for the replies, guys. I'll check the owner's manual--it just might have the torque specs I need.

    Setting the cam chain is EZ if you have the right info as well.
