The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Been pretty sparse around here that last few weeks... Where is everybody? Facebook???

Facebook is cool but, documented info is quickly archived and hard to find after a few weeks.. Just sayin..  :-D

By the way, the bike turned out so clean and professional looking.  Once you guys get some experience with the bike and rider, you will be a force to be reckoned with.
Perhaps I have a dirt bike addiction?

If Sean can get out and put a practise session or two on it before his next race, that should ferret out any remaining gremlins and I can assure you that he will kick some serious booty on it  8-)
I don't know if you listened to the published vid or not but that engine is sweet...
Way more bottom and mid range then a stock KX500.
And excellent throttle response...

How did the back brake work?  Any more heating issues?

You guy's have probably named each nut and bolt by now as many times that you have pulled that thing completely down!  :lol:
Looks good!
