I thought 60HP out of a 686 was eaisly attainable, but what I've read as of late apparently not..... Whats the real deal??[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img]

They might be rating those #'s as FWHP instead of RWHP. Just an easy way to put a spin on things

Hey Rockey, I am Hitower's friend and co-worker. I hear you took him in drag racing every time you guys ran?! This was even before your port work, wasn't it? He has more mods than you too right? What's up with that?? OH, and BTW, how come you did not throw in cams while you were at the port job?

Thanks,
"TOID"

Yes it is - HALLELUJAH!! Everything has gone as planned (lately anyway). It's been 7 weeks since the Raptoid has reered it's ugly head and ROARED! But now it will once again.... thanks to a Yamaha FRIEND.

Hey toid, I was hoping we would get a chance to ride together. I hear we like the same style of riding, ***** to the walls. The port work felt like it added quite a bit of power, but I ran terrible at the track. Chris told me I might need a bigger carb to notice much improvement from the portwork and now I am thinking he is right. Are you going to haspin with Chris coming up? I am going to hold off on the cams for a bit. Did you get your beast running? let us know how it does.

To tell the truth I don't know, but it certainly isn't enough! I hope you didn't take my reply the wrong way. The 686 might make a lot more than 60 hp, its just important to know whether its FWHP or RWHP.

Yes I am going to be at Haspin Acres on the 21st with Hitower. Are you coming too? There should be at least 5 of us there that day. Me, my wife, and Hitower are going to the Badlands this Saturday as well.

I am picking my quad up this evening!!! So I am ready to roll - just do a little break-in session, then Balz to the Walz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
