I'm sure they'll be lining up to have you as a customer. :rotfl:

Ol'89r said:Thanks, but no thanks.
mxcrazed said:. Something is wrong here when the same manufacturer produces two ohv engines and one has one tenth the service interval. Sounds like you need ss valves and stiffer springs to fix a valve float issue. On top of the fact that people have seen longer service intervals by running the valve lash tighter than hondas "recommended" specification. Sounds like Honda triple f$@*#d up crappy valves, crappy springs and a bad specification because they probably cheeped out on R&D.

I understand dirt wears out vavles but are we really saying that a CRF with diligent filter service ridden in non-dusty conditions (negligible dirt/dust entering the engine) would last as long as the street bike engine?
Papakeith said:Sure they could make it an XR engine that would last forever, but I imagine that there would be a considerable weight penalty that racers wouldn't want.
motometal said:How much of a factor of reliability, or power is gained with four cylinders vs. one? Other than that, I can't see why the big difference sport bike engine vs. mx.
Rich Rohrich said:, then you probably should stick to two-strokes.
i know this is the thumper forum but no need to speak in a depreciatory way of smokers like that. i still like them :fft:Ol'89r said:If the CRF is more trouble than you want to deal with then, sell it and buy a two stroke
helio lucas said:mxcrazed, the fact that you have bought a 250 km/h bike that has crashed at least two times tells a lot of what you look for in your bikes. you may need a quad. :ride:

helio lucas said:and ol'89r, never look again to my bike please. despite my bike is a two stroke without exhaust valve you may well throw my ports out of spec. and no... don´t even think on my bike!!!:

There was a pretty good video couple years ago with some really good MX rider on an XR650 smoking someone on a 450(I think it was a 450) MX bike. Loved the brake light coming on before every corner!! Can't see vids on work computer anymore (being held down by The Man here), so I can't find it to post the link._JOE_ said:I've seen videos of sportbikes in the woods, no mx tracks though......
