Thanks for the link. The disjointedness of each individuals preference is the biggest obstacle to getting any kind of positive response . Easier for them to provide cookie cutter anybody can ride machines. I think that's part of the problem of how we ended up with no big bore selection. Easier to se...

In case you can't tell I like the idea :mrgreen: 3593 members of kx5 9874 members of cr5 1333 cr5 banned? Ok even on a go...

I'd say go into kx/cr riders & post the title Kawasaki / Honda set to release a new big bore, just call & tell them you want it. Really though ktm is the best bet followed by Yamaha where they never gave up on the 2-stroke guys. Wonder if units sold can be found as a figure, ktm300/yz250 if you know...

I think the request would need to be a realistic standardized thought. 6-speed 5-600 cc's , more endur...

I'm thinking, heat a case half in the oven to 300 test, 350 test , 400 test. I'm betting its done there but if Im wrong, could keep going. The tester is aerospace quality, we use it to test for junk d-max heads. This is awesomeness , most screwed up parts are from the "mechanic" , nice to learn the ...

X1000 tolerance in engines can get down to 1/30 of a hairs width, literally. How big of a gob of crud is that.

Right cool project. I've use vht stuff on a pipe before, baked on per instructions. Didn't stick for .... Went back to good old barbecue black. Be sure to scratch test before committing . My stuff was glassbeaded even.
