Just this one. It's weird it has hairline cracks all around the skirt and the pipe was coated in aluminum dust. The crank is tight, same with the rod. No play at all, smooth spinning by hand and no debris in the crankcase, most of it went out the pipe at WOT. https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/aut...

Out by the dry lake on the way to Irwin. I'm not sure why the wiseco busted up, but it made a mess when it did. 5th gear tapped~

Thanks for the reply. I've heard way more good than bad about Glenn (long time lurker), and that many hoons can't be wrong. I wanted to try the 540 cc "Liger" jug I read about on the main site but I can't get ahold of the bastards. I'll call gss when i get the motor tore down and figure ou...

"race" port reliability?

I just grenaded my top end finally, and it's time for a rebuild. My question is for you guys that are running Glenn's race port, how long do they last? I ride primarily open desert/dunes And need more top end but I don't want to sacrifice reliability (it was a long walk to the truck when this motor ...

I wonder if at only 35 watts if the moose lighting coil would keep that battery charged enough? Their part# is 2111=0074 rated at 45w. Maybe with the battery and coil it would work? $100 isn't bad. I bet it would be fine if it's a DC lighting coil. My riding buddy needs a partner for the nightrace,...

Went for a ride tonight, turns out that battery only lasts about an hour. Time to find something bigger or get a stator from baja designs.

Kragen HID+walmart battery= nightrides!

By the time I get home from work it's dark, so I haven't been riding as much as usual and that sucks. I have a set of kragen HID's (They were on sale for $99 a piece) on my truck and they have done well in the desert. I can't afford the baja designs kit right now, so this is just a temporary setup, ...

yeah plus about the time you think you have it tuned a storm will move in, the temp will drop 20 degrees and it will run totally different. Lots of other things factor into the equation, like ambient air temp, mix ratio, fuel used, filter cleanliness, weather it's hanging to the left or the right, e...

Dude you have to change your username now, lol. Did you get the bottom part of the sheet with the air fuel ratios? I'm just curious what afr these motors like to run. I have a wideband but no idea what to tune to. Most cars put out the most power around 12.5:1 (naturally aspirated) and are most effi...

here's a short clip of a dragrace on the dry lake, I'm running a 15/48 and barely pulled on a mostly stock 07 yami 450. With stock gearing on my bike we're pretty much neck and neck. Time to send the jug to gss I guess! https://bannedcr500riders.com/images/auto/a6c2ffb69bd9bb3a1373f95fce879af5.jpg

I'm in the Army, just got stationed out at Fort Irwin near Barstow and picked up a 93 to rip around the desert on. I've been overseas for a few years and grew up riding, but I'm a little rusty. I have always wanted a 500 and I got a great deal on it ($1500 with fresh top end and desert tank) and thi...
