[QUOTE="Ol'89r, post: 1249232, member: 17212"] :laugh: HA! I laugh in your general direction. :rotfl: Poor deluded fool. :coocoo: As much as I hate to agree with elk, he's right. Not about the beating me part but about each bike having it's place. I love my 450 in the desert where you can carve through the pucker bushes effortlessly or climb any hill that you point it at. In GP racing the 450 is the only way to go and on most large outdoor tracks they are hard to beat. On fireroads they just flat make you giggle. But, in the tight stuff, they are a handful. The last time we went up to Phelan and rode the manzanita trail, a tight little trail that winds through thick manzanita bushes, I had a hard time staying ahead of elk on his 250x. (Please don't tell him that.) My 450 felt about a foot longer than it actually was and I was spending more time getting it stopped for the corners than anything else. I still beat him as usual but I had to work at it a little. :nener: You have to look at where you ride and determine which bike is best for you. They both have their place. fmfdude28. I would recommend a stage 1 cam and a 'R' high compression piston as a start. The cylinder head on the 'X' is considerably different than the 'R' head and will not flow as good but you will have a noticeable power increase by doing just the cam and piston and proper jetting. You will also need to unplug your airbox by removing the baffle on the top of the air box and remove the little inserts on the side covers unless you ride in a lot of high water conditions. Also, remove the little insert from your muffler. Be sure you have someone that understands how to degree a camshaft and clearance the piston install your cam and piston. Many people just slap a cam and piston in there and hope for the best, but for the ultimate performance from your cam, have it degreed. [/QUOTE]
