My best friend Les @ LT-Racing told me once "Jeff - remember when buying a used motorcycle that you are buying the 'unused portion'".
I'd say there is a helluva lot there that is "unused".
It is one of the last XC models - GGNA - so it might have the lighter ignition and a higher compression head. If yes, then you might consider adding a flywheel (if not there already).
I loved those old DID U Rims - I wish I could have those on every bike I own...
- Jet it.
- Have the squish dialed in by Ron @ RB-Designs.
- Add a G2 cam throttles....
- Run Rotella 5w40 syn in the tranny and you should have no issues.
- Have the suspension revalved by LT-Racing.
- Throw away the kickstarter and pick one up from a yz yamaha...
... Then use up the "unused portion"...

Ive been reading about power valves and carb tuning, i am officially dangerous now.
From what i have read, and my tiny brain trying to make sense of it, i think i might know what i want??
I want the power to be instant, even at part throttle. But i also want the better throttle control (G2) to manage the power easy, like a four stroke.
Am I on the right thought process?
I have just the type of power delivery you are looking for on my 250. It used to be explosive (very jerky) but not very strong off idle up to midrange. I installed a NEDW carb needle - now it will pull stumps. It powers away from idle like a trials bike (very controllable and very strong). Top end still winds out fairly well but the mid range was a tad flat with this needle until I switched to a RB modified cylinder head. Much better now.Ive been reading about power valves and carb tuning, i am officially dangerous now.
