notice something funny about the front motor mounts

I did, as well as several other very interesting details...
I can't wait for other information to be released...
I'm trying to throttle my questions back and not ask too many at once... It is hard...
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

I noticed some HUGE radiators.....
What I couldn't see was the hose routing.
Any details on that?

Yep, I saw them and I know how they fit  :lol:
Looking at mine yesterday and I see that it was a good idea.
I might even do it on my next build.

Any details on that?

3 row.  was many variations of them through the years.  (ones like mine were confirmed after I described them)..
stock routing.  stock pump (on the Baja bikes).

some of the MX boys got modded impellers and pump covers



they were actually seizing the bikes with the bigger rads.    on WOT runs before the bike got up to full temp.    so they started taping up the rads with duct tape,  and putting temp moniters on the bars.

when they were first doing it.  they had seized 6 or so bikes, before a Baja race.    admittedly had no idea what it was (they were chasing carbs and ignitions).   had a brain storm one night.

stuck LR on a bike, with a BIG BIG fluke meter duct taped to his arm,   told to go run it WOT down the Mexican highway.   to see what it does.   his reply of course "But waint, they are seizing"   and the response was "try to catch it"..  

yep.  turns out they were cold seizing them, because they wernt letting them get warm enough before run hard

Any word on what temps they let them warm up to before getting on it hard?

They machined the cases to fit the larger plates and shimmed the mounts to take some of the stress off the frame.

So.... Where are some of those cases.... and other custom parts?
Did you discover a secret stock pile and a hording them all to yourself?

What's the benefit of the bigger motor mounts/narrow cases?
