That was a 250R-based Roll Design race quad. It had nothing to do with a Mojave. The only things that made it a Kawasaki were the KX250 engine and green plastic. Check my pics for an action shot of it. He stated that the power was outrageous, but the vibration was intolerable. At the later races in the season, it actually had a 250R engine in it.

Does anyone think it would be worth the effort to put a KLX300R enghine into a Mojave? It would have 298cc's,6-speed,DOHC,4-valve,Liquid cooled. I just like the 6-speed part. Or would you be safer with upgrading the cams and boring it out?

I wouldn't use the KLX300R engine. It is weak. It really doesn't have the bottom end that one would expect. If you really want to be different, go get a Ninja 500R engine and slap it in there. DOHC twin, 4 valves-per-cylnder, big bore, short stroke, 10.8:1 compression, counterbalanced, six-speed transmission. 4 Wheel ATV Action did an article a few years ago that had an in-house built Mojave with that engine in it. They said it was a screamer and had about 60 hp stock. It had a custom two-into-one exhaust system on it and reportedly sounded awsome. They also tested a dune version of the Roll/KX250 quad in that article.
