Sorry took so long to reply but I was gone racing. The bike is awsome!!!!!
It handles the same as the 450 but has way more power of course.
I did a hundred mile desert race this weekend and I was passing the 450's In the staights in forth gear easily. The top of there fifth gear was the mid of my 4th gear. I am sure I hit close to one hundred mph in a couple of the staights. I geared her high for that reason. 15-46.
The bad thing was my crank case breather hose fell inbetween the back of the case and the spring and was pinched off. After the first 50 mile loop
I stopped and fueled up and about 20 miles into the second loop it lost power and would not accept alot of throttle. I think the crank seals are blown. If you any of you have any other Ideas of what might be wrong. Your input is always is appreciated.
I will post some pics of the headstay tomorrow. I am going to tear the motor down and I will take pics of everything I did.
500AF's fucken rock!!!!

Our pits were way out by the kids course. We pitted with some friends and they like to be out away from everybody. It has it's good and bad points. I will be in corrolitos next month. WE are going to pit like normal people there. I pulled my motor and found a cracked piston. Easy fix.
I will look for you at the race.

Yea that shit suck's. I had to start with the ametures I think. 3rd or 4th row back. My bike dosn't like cold weather. Probably has to do with a worn piston. I passed at least 20 dudes before I had clear view of the trail.
Then my bike took a crap. I wanted to catch Pat and Jeremy in the second loop but didn't happen. Corrolitos is gonna be my redemption race.
We will see what happens.
