Need to do team green front motor mount mod! !

Yes... get me the measurement you want the cases at and I will make sure they are machined to perfection... Or close enough to work  :lol:

Oscar has some video and pics of their riding/test session.
Hopefully we can get a mini movie with interview info up soon.
Hurry Oscar... Hurry....

It's 3:33am Pacific Standard Time and I just finished the video I created from the GoPro footage, video footage and pictures taken on test day.  It came out to be a 30 minute video.  I didn't included the footage of the long post test discussion that Sean and I had at his house because it is too long.  I will try to upload that interview separately very soon......Just have to get the stamp of approval from Sean (even though he will say "hell yeah dude") before I can post it.

Sean didn't say that my motor had more bottom than his......He said that he liked the way my motor made power throughout the entire RPM range.  He said that the Mid to Top felt better than Greg's motor but that may have been because of jetting and that my jetting was more spot on.  I will send Motorrad and Sandblaster a flash drive with ALL the footage with Sean's verbal analysis and the go pro footage so you can hear all the engines operate on the track back to back.  My motor is set up more for mid to top for desert and it is unknown what Sean's true engine set up is as the previous builder did not provide them with any details.  For all we know my "desert" setup may be better than what the other builder did for him.  We won't know how Sean's KX500 engine was built until we tear into it and analyze it.  Sean's gearing and my gearing were the closest in the test as he was running 14/51 and I was running 13/45.  More to follow.

What are you guys doing to the clutch?  Other than a basket?  I just posted over at kxguru on the kx450f vs k5 basket.  I'm in the exact same boat as you guys.  I already run the hinson k5 basket but want to swap out the rest.  Just wondering what's happening here?

The clutch basket is in such good shape we probably won't do anything special... except perhaps some REM micro-polishing and Cryo of the gears and perhaps some polishing of the basket ears... Extended clutch arm... re-routed and straightened cable... At this point most of the build is up for discussion as very little has been finalized..

Comp Edge is definitely a possibility......Just don't know when....We try to hit up LACR because it our local track but a change of pace is always nice.

I'll tell you what I did with my swing arm and it has proven itself to resist scratching as well it looks good. What I did was went and got some spray on truck bed liner( black). Taped off where I wanted to put stickers/ graphics and such. Then I put the bed liner on as I would have if I were painting something. Looks good and I should get some pics to send along. But no longer have to worry About scratches. I also taped off all spacer and bearing holes as well as where the chain tensioner and axle go. It's just an idea. If you don't give it s second thought, that's ok. But it looks and works great. as far as added weight of the stuff, I can't imagine it's too much. But the scuff and gouge resistant properties of it can't be beat. Keep the good work up
