Not similar to any dirtbike 2t motor i've ever seen. There are pics and more info in another thread.The other in the YZ250F frame with my own 360 engine,Similar to Husqvarna 360 engine by chance?
So the strategy for the clutch case is to divit/hack on the frame for clearance? If so are you reinforcing the notch locations somehow to make up for the lost strength or to spread the load past the notches?Yeah thats what i was thinking. Do all the conversions require grinding for clearance?
Well this Deputy won at least 2 classes. I guess I probably cut the track though since we are a crooked bunch. You guys are killing me.ha was waiting for law enforcement to comment. you must be one of the good ones cause you ride and post on here. I've heard a rumour that there are some good cops out there, i've just yet to meet any. i'll try not to let my own experiences tar you all with the same brush. i was thinking more along the lines of standing over flag marshalls and race stewards to force disqualifications and threatening fast riders to make them not race rather than cutting the track, maybe thats just the detectives. you deputys might be ok lol
no, probably a lawbreaker!Yep you right on the money, i'm a motherf*****g outlaw haha. But even if i wasn't i'd still hate cops, in my experience they a crooked bunch. Firefighters on the other hand are the salt of the earth.
We generally do.Haha nice, glad you're a fire fighter. total respect for what you do. As for the others, well i'll stop there. Prejudiced? yes
I have a 2011. It feels like it has 10 more HP than my 2007. It has a ****'s carb and ProCircuit pipe.woah, whats up with that seat? how tall are you 8ft?
Ha, Duck's with an I instead of a U was censored.
I had an '87 KX500 and the only think I didn't like was the plastic and the vibration. I would think in an aluminium frame, you'd have a hard time holding on to it and no amount of rubber dampners would eliminate it. I would think a steel frame the way to go.The geometry might be the same but the riding position and ergo's of old bikes are vastly different to the new ones.
Personally, I would rather find a 500 and update/restore it, rather than convert/build my own. They are still good bikes and Race Tech (et al) can update the suspension to just about as good as you'll get on a new bike. The frame geometry has not changed at all to speak of.
I love my '76 Husky 360 and my '80 Can-Am 400. If I had pillow top grips and maybe some good (antivibration) triples, I'd probably still have my KX500. Now I am about done building an '80 RM400. I know these are old bikes but there are plenty of good deals on '90's 500's out there.
Just one more thing...at the recent Portuguese National in Faial, a guy rode an old CR500 to 7th overall in combined MX1/MX2. It was a borrowed bike, just so he wouldn't fall too far back in points.
(I think I was 27th in MX2)
That's what I thought about the gas tank too, but someone already had tried to rattle can it white and it looked like crap. I used paint that was supposed to bond with the plastic, so I'm hoping it will hold up... And I'll have to look around for those pipe cleaner looking things, maybe at a hardware storeIt's not the paint bonding thats the problem, it's the gas escaping through the plastic tank and causing bubbles under the paint.
stu will beat expierience with quick strong leg attacks.HaHa yes, yes he will. Those leg strikes will leave him wondering where the big overhand bomb came from though.
