the cost to micro blue coat a motor
« on: August 16, 2012, 06:11:08 PM »
i just got off the phone with a cool dude named craig at micro blue and he said to coat my 2007 honda cr125 is between 1,200 to 1,500 dollars. i think thats a resonable price, we all have paid that much for hop-up parts. i'd also like to add that getting to shut the losers up who hate us because we ride 2 strokes  is worth the money. Craig at micro blue racing you'r the man!!!

racer-x  i dont try and hate on anyone, i'm tired of people who probably dont even know the difference between a 2 stroke and a 4 stroke hateing me. if no ones ever gave you attitude about your 2 stroke your lucky and if you want to keep riding it micro blue seems to be the answer. you dont have to wait until some company builds a fuel injected or a direct injected bike that might be good or might not be.one things for sure if us riders dont take up the cause we wont be riding anything not 2strokes not 4strokes not even electric bikes. the powers that be want to stop any freedom we have. if you dont beleive me watch the news the mayor of new york wants to stop people from being able to buy a super sized soda. so racer-x would you rather be a part of the solution or a part of the problem. me personally i'll do all i can to fight for my right to ride as we'll as fight for your right to ride.

While you love birds are starting a revolution in your heads, here in the real world $1000 is a LOT of money for a hop up part for bikes which cost a heck of a lot to start with especcially if that hop up part is almost totally unproven and may not make a difference to your speed on the track at all.

But hey if you too can afford it then get it on your bikes and let us all know how it is.

I agree, you should protect your bike with rich jetting, micro blue coating, and a 20:1 Maxima 927 mix.

I think 4 stroke dirtbikes are a phase, kind of like "Glam Rock" in a way. You see the whole world subscribing to it, and you wonder how everyone could be choking down so much Kool Aid and Spam... Then 10 Years later, nothing's left but the timeless stuff from before and after..

What revolution would that be then? American independance? I very much doubt you actually remember that.

And for future reference jealous is spelt with a J not a G.

Im not sure whether micro blueing as many parts as they say you can will do good or bad.

Micro blue coat cylinder bores and pistons
they want to make your bore super smooth which completely goes against the theory of honing your cylinder. A smooth surface doesnt hold oil as well as a slightly rough surface, this is why we hone cylinders instead of polishing them.

Microblue sponsored a yz250 in AMA a few years back, they tried to run 100:1 premix ration with limited success. It kept seizing unfortunately from what I was told (reliable source)

things like bearings in the motor and wells are well worth it tho in my opinion, but arnt really worth doing untill youve done everything you possibly can do

ei: suspension, wheels, brakes, heavily worked over motor, carb and pipe (custom made)

I honestly think you would get a bigger power gain by removing the stator and running a total loss sytem with A123 cells. but even that would only give you 0.1KW (100W generator)

the micro blue might seem like good bang for buck, but how much extra bang are you getting from your 1200 bucks, thats the big question.

by the way, I think their product is great if used in the right areas. low friction coatings are brilliant!
