Default I LOVE IT!!

Theres HSD +3 a-arms, Elka Triple rate ZPS up front, dual in back, Durablue +4 axle, Toomey T-5's, and I think thats about it. I don't really think thats all that is in the motor because the power makes my old Raptor seem like a toy. I would just like to hear some guesses as to what I payed for it because I think some of you will be amazed. Anyway, I still have $1000 to do whatever I want to it. I was thinking about sending it in to Trinity and having them do an mx port job on it even though I think it already has enough power, although I would like to do something to widen up the power band. What do you guys think?

Oh yeah, I forgot, the guy I bought it from said HSD makes the a-arms so 250r shocks fit on there, so he said he thinks the front shocks are actually for a 250r.

Ok guys, I got a couple questions. First of all, the guy told me he mixed the gas/oil 32:1 but looking at the book it says 24:1. Would it change that much with pipes, filter, and reeds? He has ran Yamaha oil in it, but I had and will have no time to get any. I had to get Castrol, will it work alright? The manual said if you can't get Yamalube then mix the Castrol 20:1. What should I do??

BTW, I payed $2700 [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

Oh, please respond ASAP. I'm going riding all day tomorrow and need to know really quick.

I ran mine at 32:1 and it still runs great. At 24:1, it won't perform very well with Yamalube. I don't know much about Castrol oil, I only ran Yamalube and Maxima 927.

He said Castrol, not castor oil. But you're right in that I didn't make the connection.
