Message: [QUOTE="the_monk, post: 1052207, member: 55757"] Here's an update. James' buddy Dane rebuilt the motor. He said he spent over an hour in the parts washer just on the power valve. It's amazing what it looks like now. I was a little nervous dropping my motor and all my parts off at some dude that I didn't know's house. Dane was the man. Anything that I don't want to do myself, I'll gladly ask him do it. I went ahead and bought a low-mid VForce reed for it too. Since I've done the warm it up, let it cool thing a few times, I decided to ride it down to the construction site today. It's about 1.5 miles away. I took it easy the whole way, just cruising slowly in 2nd gear. I made it to the dirt, and HOLY CRAP!! That thing RIPS. It's NOTHING like it was before. It hits SO hard very near idle. I was making some very slow turns on some flat, hard packed dirt in 2nd gear. It took a small fan of the clutch and the bike was ripping. It seems to go on forever, too. About half way through the rpm range, it smooths out a bit and then slowly builds power to a slowly-falling-off top quarter of the RPMs. The bike scared the poo out of me the first time I opened it up. I didn't have gloves on, and it came up so fast, that it actually tore some skin off my knuckles when the hand guards got my hands. On Sunday we're headed out to Nocona. The boy is going to try out his slightly softer-hitting clutch in his KTM. Maybe next weekend I'll be headed out to Muenster. I'm a little nervous to ride in the tight stuff. I'll definately have to ride a gear higher now. :) [/QUOTE]
