There has to be more to this story. I had another guy recommend this to me. They are spendy as far as spark plugs go. I bought a couple. Fouled the first one in a couple hours. Fouled another one in 20 minutes. It was a thick black soot. Put back a spare BR8ES, and it's still there 5 rides later lo...

Have you got it all put back together yet? I'm anxious to hear how it runs now. Does Glen do a general clean up on all the ports, like match the exhaust port to the manfold and touch up the rough transfers?

That's some pretty radical porting...umm...wow. How is this porting intended to alter the CRs power? When you get it together I would like to know how you felt it benefited the motor and where. And another thing...your jug! How did you get it so polished? I'll be honest, I'm a little jealous. Your j...

...as some of you may know Wiseco is going cheap ass on our pistons. Cutting production time and costs and selling us heavier pistons then ever before FOR THE SAME PRICE. If they want to go cheap ass on us they had better give us some money back on our end too. I've talked to some folks at Wiseco an...

with injection your oil tank can run dry but motor just keeps on going, well for a few more minutes anyway. If you let your oil run out...your just stupid. The injection on our snowmobiles has worked great. The programming on our Ski-Doo's are actually quite 3 dimensional. At low rpm, at an idle, o...

Some great looking downtubes pictured here. But how many of you have actually had a frame failure? What would be included in a "kit". Y-pipe obviously, properly fitted airbox maybe? Pipe and silencer? Off road tank of choice maybe? If a person could buy these parts of this caliber for say....

Yes compression. Excuse my lack of knowledge about the english language. I wasted my high school years riding bikes. Now look at me...I'm a bullet sponge

Yeah a broken femur is very serious. It's seriousness though is whether or not the femoral artery has been ruptured. Your femur is under alot of tension. Your quads are constantly pulling on your femur. If it breaks your thigh muscles will collapse the two halfs of the femur grinding it against itse...

Then cheers to us spanky... There is no golden ratio.


...but I still think 32:1 is alot

Are the carbon friction pads smaller in area then the kevlar ones? I can't remember who I read this from but I thought maybe it was AB who said he uses lighter weight springs to compensate. So the clutch pull is awsome! Am I tracking or hopelessly lost?

Sounds fair... Ok here is my conclusive evidence: 32:1 = too much! I don't care about evidence, I don't need to see anything. I curtainly don't want somebody to waste his or her time to prove a point. Fact is I thought is was a silly claim and had to raise the BS flag. Nothing more. I don't care wha...

Naw...I read it spanky. And I respect your thoughts and comments. I just beleive there is such thing as too much oil. I wonder how much Ty Davis, Destry Abbott and the rest of Team Green used during the BITD series or Baja 1000. 32:1 is alot of oil for a 500. Period. Woods, MX, Desert or Dunes, I do...

Thank you spanky, I was reading this last night. But...I thought you would provide supporting documentation to your claims. Quoted from Maxima, "A single piston 500cc 2-cycle engine used in a motocross application will lubricate just fine and provide optimum power with a 50:1 oil ratio, because...

:x Negative... I said "SHOW" The first post means shit to me. A flurry of opinions typed by a man who goes by spanky. I want to see technical data from an outfit that makes a living testing oil and it's effects in a single cylinder two stroke motor. I'm sure such data that supports mr. spa...

Show me.

Ok so I just read this dudes thoughts on jetting. So apparently running twice as much oil and fat jets doesn't constitute as a rich setting that causes the combustion chamber to run cold and not completely burn the air fuel charge. So what the hell is TOO rich?

Right you are...and more oil too. 18:1 is 18:1. Doesn't matter how fat on the main you are. You're adding every bit as much more oil as you are fuel.

So what are you're guys's thoughts on filters? Twin Air...UNI...or the dozens of other replica brands? Oh I forgot, and the OE filter. I swap between a UNI and Twin Air from ride to ride. Honestly I think the TA needs a little richer jetting then the UNI. It seems to pass a sliver more air. But it's...

[/quote] Oil does make power, ring seal makes a big difference :wink:[/quote] If you've got to seal the rings with oil go kick the dude that honed your cylinder in the nuts. I understand it helps a little. But gas makes power too. And alot more so then damn oil does. 18:1 is half as much dang fuel a...

But what if my engine doesn't see temps high enough to break synthetics down in the first place? Does the Castor do me alot of good? This reminds me of Evans coolant. If I never boil my bike over, what good is useing NPG-R and seeing higher running temps because of it?

Wow...that's a nice load of bullshit. I'll never argue the point that oil extends engine life...got it. But I'm throwing the bullshit flag on the rest of this dudes garb. This being the first explanation I've ever heard of more oil producing more power?? Sure dude, and I'm a monkeys uncle. Oh and ho...

My pegs will do that too. It's the wider platform and relocated position that causes the prob. It took a couple sore bruises before I learned to just kick with the toe of my boot. Bike starts easy enough...I don't know why I ever tried breaking the lever off with my whole foot anyways??

Oh Hell no son!! I was raised my whole life thinking it had to be o'ring or nothing. So just once I felt a little audacious and bought a non-o'ring. Can't be happier. I had no idea how dumb I was for buying o'ring chains all these years. I understand alot of chains out there are garbage...got it. Bu...

So this is cr500riders alter ego huh...I sure hope so
