I'd love to see an R6 at 16,000+. Or a desmo valvetrain... Or pneumatics. Just very, very cool. You can imagine how much the valves on something cheap like an EX250 must float at high revs.

Wow - amazing!

Interesting that they used non-roller cam followers instead of traditional shim-under-bucket design. I wonder how the clearance adjustment is accomplished?

Shim under the follower, I'd guess.

Exactly.

And, it's direct contact - so there is no push on it.
