Howdy all , well its been some time now and the yz forks are wonderful IMO and as you all well know life happens hence my absence . I havent had a chance to get into the rear shock yet but suspect ,, scratch that ,, it will be coming apart soon . Late last fall I started to notice a considerable power loss and plug readings getting wayyy lean , just out of the blue jet up and up and , duhhh main seals . so engine is coming out and gonna follow the oh so wonderful wright ups on this next operation , will start a new post for that though , now for something completely different . I purchased an 88 cr500 from my close bud and it was in some need of love for sure but got her ripping for a considerable amount less than the k5 engine build plus Ive known the cr for many years engine is quite fresh and strong , will put some pics up in "my other rides" section and keep yall updated on the engine build as I will most likely have some tech/personal preference questions along the way thanks for takin the time to read this and look forward to any and all coments questions etc.
