[QUOTE="Patman, post: 1362592, member: 16962"] I'm pretty sure I understand exactly what he's talking about. He wants to adjust the power he has to an area he considers the sweet spot for his riding style not necessarily more power for the sake of bragging he's got more power but if he get's a little bump that's OK as well.. Not such a bad idea really since most people don't really use what their stock bike has anyway. My tricked out XR makes more everywhere but it should because it's got more displacement, porting & valve job & better exhaust. I have the option to go a little more crazy and add a Hot Cam but it was not necessary based on the way the bike currently works for me. If nothing I think this guy "gets it" more than most people. Ultimate power output might be important in some limited situations but really it's a matter of want more than need. Does average Joe the trail rider "need" a WR250/450 for his fun in the woods? Doubtful. Does a water cooled engine really offer him anything? Doubtful. What he's got might be old tech compared to a current bike but that doesn't mean it can't work better than a new tech bike for his situation. I honest to goodness would much rather be riding a oil & air cooled XR/TTR/DRZ out in the middle of nowhere because chances are it will go plenty fast enough and is less likely to break if I drop it / run it in to a tree / don't maintain it, plus I spend less time adjusting valves, changing oil and the like. Sure new tech is cool but I don't drive a F1 car to work and doubt that would make much sense if I could. Then again I don't drive an old Ford F100 even though it would work because I have become old, fat & accustomed to AC and the rest of the stuff on my Supercrew. :laugh: [/QUOTE]
