[QUOTE="bedell99, post: 28388, member: 18299"] Has anyone actually wondered how they get so much power out those factory engines? I was watching the glen helen race on tv this weekend and seeing those 125's pull up that huge hill was simply amazing. So I started thinking to my self. Do they use special gas, is there porting that much different, does that extra 2 oz. they knocked off by using titanium make them go so much faster? I'm a firm believer that the reason why they don't show any internals to mags when they test those bikes is I think they would come up short a couple of millimeters if someone measured the bore of there bike. I just got my engine bored and ported to 144cc and can honestly tell you that no matter how fast you think your legal 125 is, there is no way you will beat me a drag race. (Maybe in the corners, but not in a straight line) I truely think that "most" of the factory teams are cheating. I know this is a bold statement, but till the the AMA tells me otherwise and starts checking cylinders that is the only way those 125's will be competitive in the pro class. I'm not saying they are running 167's, but I really think that 134's and 144's are in most of there bikes. I know that a 134cc engine is legal in the "amatuer" ranks but not in the pro class. Just some food for thought. Erik[img]http://208.56.125.175/forums/ubb/smile6.gif[/img] 99 kx 144 [/QUOTE]
