This isn't a savage question, but my 1991 yamaha FZR600 is having problems and my brother is a savage owner and he says you guys in this forum are geniuses and you might be able to help me. My bike doesn't want to start when it's cold, but after 15 min of cranking it finally starts and runs great, and will start fine once it's warm. I am getting fuel and spark so the problem is elsewhere. I've heard these bikes have a tendency to wear out intake valves and seats, and I've also been told to consider tight valves. Would poorly sealing intake valves cause these symptoms? Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks.
