Status: offline 		I tried running a saito 60 twin and discovered it has a stuck valve. Any ideas on how to free it up? Not sure about dissassembly. The rockers are held on with e clips. Can I just unbolt the affected cylinder without screwing things up? Thanks.

If it is indeed the valve you might get it freed up by giving it a shot of penetrating oil and excercising it a few times, that might also save a tear down. Make sure the pushrods are seated properly under the rockers too and not holding a valve open.

Thanks. Trying that with penetrating oil now.
