Another Northern Nut
« on: February 21, 2009, 12:37:07 AM »
Greetings from Ontario,Canada.

Just bought an 87 K5 motor  to stuff into a Mojave just because it seemed like the thing to do. Just shipped the topend to Eric Gorr to be punched to 540 and ported.
This is my first Kawy, owned lots of bikes and am head over heals over big bore power. My Cr500 got me hooked. The old saying is so true: There is no substute for cubic inches or in bikes CCs. That roll on power has no equeal.

On a side note I've discovered that a wifes love goes up with the number of bikes you own:

91 CR500, piped, Eric Gorr ported, reeds
91 Fantic 307, Italian trials
92 YZ250 #1 daughter's
89 Warrior wife's
93 Blaster #2 daughter's
94 XR100 #2 daughter's
71 SL70 my first bike, rebuilt once in 38 years and still purrs
73 SL70 complete but might end up a parts bike
82 YZ80 needs topend
83 YZ80 needs topend
81 YZ60
80 YZ50 parts bike

Try it, it works for me :)

I need ignition for my K5 if anybody has a flywheel,stator and cdi off a 90-up K5 or I've read I can run 96-97 KX250 parts?
Thx
Scott

I've read some on the 250 igintion, looks promising just gotta find a complete setup at a price I can afford.

Keep workin on ur missess, talk to her when she is sleeping maybe.

Yes the wife has a sister. I hit on her a couple of times,  was going well but the wife seem to see it as an issue. I don't understand, wasn't like I was chasing some strange women right?
