    Spend the money on better seats for the van. My neck hurts from sleeping on a funny angle on the way home.

    corner speed doesnt seem to be a problem for me but i am sick of getting passed down the straights.

    I just rebuilt my bike with a high comp piston and got the jetting set mint so its puttin out 50hp at the wheel now.

    i thought that was alright but i got nailed down the straight at levels in the weekend by a crf450, far from std tho its got 54 at the wheel.
    i also got passed by a couple of brand new 450smr's.

    let me know what you guys think.
    You should just buy mine... it's up for sale and it's pretty cheap for what it has on it, than a the fact that if someone doesn't buy it I'm going to end up racing it again this year

    540 kit and improve the flow of the engine. What kind of parts availability is there? And what are the specifications of the camshaft[s] in it now?

    was sx cam in it which for stock is pretty good, soon to have a hot cam tho.

    540 cam will have to wait, this is gonna cost me a bit as it is

    I got my original muffler professionally cut and opened up ie a 50mm perf tube put in it, maybe you want it, a swap (so I got the original) you can have my modded one.
    It did make a difference to mine so should on yours
