Yeah, I think I've seen Standing Stone - never seen anyone going up it though, but I've heard stories. Looks rough.
Have you ever been to or heard of Fettie Cave? That place rocks!
BTW: I think it is hard to compare the Rappy and YFZ - one is a great trail machine, one is a great race machine. 2 different worlds and both excel in their own.

Yeah I been to the cave.
People party there a lot in the summer. LOL
I bet you had a blast down there. The trail getting to it is getting rough from the rain, but it's a great place to go kick back on a long ride. Definetly a awesome place to hang out.

Maybe you should get a real pipe. Like a Alba. LOL
That was my first ever race(s) against a YFZ and I was close. Damn was it close. I would have almost traded my mud machines to anyone for a set of light 20' tires. Not saying I would have won, but I would have been closer then 1 bike lenght behind.

MY buddy SEVEN....
You obviously haven't ridden a YFZ yourself....or you would know that they are very fast. I have a 400EX and a YFZ, and the EX isn't a match in any type of riding...PERIOD!! The race you witnessed was no doubt all rider and not bike. Rider ability is always a big factor in any race, regardless of the bikes. Don't get me wrong, I love my EX and still ride it. It is a great bike and very fun to ride, but it just doesn't compare to my YFZ.
Late.....

I would say no wonder you lost. That is just about the same as stock. I'm sure your rappy was louder with your pipe like that, but adding a full system with the K&N(pro design) gives you a ton of torque and power. It's almost like riding a completely differnt bike.
As for my jetting, I got it dialed in really good. It's running really good right now. A lot better then anytime before.
But I need just alittle bit more to beat a piped YFZ.
It wouldn't be unfair to change my piston and cam now would it....considering my rappy is so far detuned compared to a YFZ. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
LOL
I can't wait to race again.

I know, that's why I was complaining about having them on there. If I would have had a set of lighter 20' tires it would have been a really close race. I think after the little bit of work I'm going to do to mine over the winter I will probaly take him. But hopefully I can get smaller tires and race him again before the work I'm going to do.
