Sean Colliers KX500 Project "I was only going to inspect the top end"

My thought also. First go with a fresh bike? Yeah, I'd say you guys did better than just 'Ok'... Nice Job!

Keep your heads held high boys, it's all about having fun and well, s**t happens.

Hopefully you get some time to test to confirm that the shock fading and lean condition is remedied with the fuel/oil mixture, it sounds strange to me but you guys have forgotten more than I will ever know about these things.

I loved reading the build you guys did on this bike, you sure put a lot of elbow grease into that engine. Very admirable!

Thanks!
Yes, I think we have Sean's old bike (The Beast) pretty well dialed in right now...
But it will take some hard runs to verify.

On Sean's new bike I think Jason will end up assembling the engine on the way down there..
13hr 23min Drive time at 869 mi.
I think we will do a bit better time wise but there will still be a lot of assembly time  

Again, we are down to the wire and will have to break in the engine once we get there, hand it to Sean, and let him race.   Not exactly ideal...

2 weeks till Race day and this is where we are at.
I don't have any engine internals... Or Suspension internals...
And I have to drive 900 miles to get there....

if you ever wanna get rid of that '01 seat....I'll take it, providing there's no tears in it...just name your price.

Can't sell you the whole seat but we just had Guts racing rebuild that seat for us.  They replaced the foam and the cover but obviously had to use the seat pan.  They should be sending me back the seat cover that came off.  If they do and it isn't destroyed you can have it if you want.

I'll keep that in mind....thanks!

I'm sorry brother.  Guts racing damaged the cover as they were removing it.

I have spoken to Sean about the Big 6 series and he has expressed interest in it however there aren't any plans yet to race the series.  Trying to get him out to Adelanto for the first round.
