No I think he was selling his cylinder and piston to get a stock cylinder. He had to have a cylinder bored out anyway and it would give somebody a cheap 686 kit.

I actually have an entire bike to part out. I nee to go to bobs and take inventory of what I have there, and what I have at my house. I know he has the motor, swingarm, egt, drag pipe, frame and a few other things. The majority of the bike is at my house in boxes LOL
Reason Im selling is because I have a new business now, and I could use the money to put into the business. Then once I have time, and money for riding again, I will start all over [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Most of you know, some things are just more important...how else would we pay for our toys?!

They don't hire anyone to do that porting cause it's guaranteed that the porting will be done by the man Curtis Sparks himself and I assume he doesn't want anyone to know his porting secrets! They told me on the phone that only Curtis does the porting so thats why they are backed up so badly, he's prolly sick of it and they wanna spend more time perfecting the YFZ [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

They are working towards breaking 60hp is what I'm hearing. Last time anyone updated what Sparks had told them about the YFZ was that their kit brings 55rwhp.

You got that right!! I dont know what the big secret is, if anyone wanted to know all they have to do is tear one down. Ask Bob, he had mine there just a few months ago.
