[QUOTE="Rider 007, post: 808802, member: 17322"] I understand that the conventional wisdom is that a case reed is more conducive to upper-rpm power, but there are too many examples of them making solid bottom or all-around power to blame Honda's "woes" on the engine type. As far as the KTM still being more of an upper mid and top engine, I'll repeat the quote from DB, the same mag that said the 03 CR250 had "weak bottom end power" and "The CR truly labors at low rpm." (DB, Jan. 03) DB, Jan. 04: Regarding the 04 KTM 250SX: "Now it comes on very strong on the bottom...", "...use the crazy low-end power", "Great torque". That doesn't sound like and engine that "is more of an upper mid and top end running engine..." to me. Nor does the following quote from MXA: MXA, Feb. 04: "KTM is an easy third - and not more than a hair behind the RM and YZ in overall power, (although it needs more top end.)" Huh? Doesn't sound like the high-rpm type of engine they claim the case reed design is. Sounds like the opposite. They are making my case for me, yet they keep saying "blame it on the case reed engine" for the CR. What I want to know is how does KTM (and others) get a case reed to produce good power and what does Honda need to do to cure theirs? How can KTM have a good running case reed and yet MXA will ignore this fact and blame Honda's low end on the case reed design? :bang: Am I still sane? :eek: :ride: [/QUOTE]
