[QUOTE="fever5, post: 1103470, member: 72367"] I am aware I neglected the radiator issue. I ride maybe 20-30 km on average. I go out and play, not put or explore and live in a cold climate. Overheating isn't a large issue for me, or so I thought? I am familiar (but obviously not an expert) with the concept of gear ratios. Wider ratios provide a range of speeds at cost of peak performance, while closed ratio is for a narrow operating speed window, such as motocross racing, to achieve maximum performance. Fortunately for me, I ride more or less at one speed. I don't tour. As far as I know, close ratio does impede the maximum speed. Anecdotally, what else accounts for the X models being able to achieve higher top ends? The same concept is seen in wakeboard boats which typically lack wide ratio transmissons, and cannot go past 40mph, despite having 380 hp motors. However again, I am a complete noob to anything related to dirt bike performance!!! I am just trying to explain my concept of gearing, so maybe you can understand the flaw in my reasoning. In all honestly, I greatly appreciate the time and effort involved in posting and providing someone with less technical experience, such as myself, with insight. This type of advice has provided strong argument against my pre-rationalized R ideas. However I am hoping the camshaft comment (sarcasm?) wasn't at the expense of my inexperience. Lol, if it wasn't sarcasm then my apologies! I tend to be overly sensitive when on call all night :-(. [/QUOTE]
