[twgranger]

Hello to you :welcome:

[3wheelerbandit]

Helz yeah! i like the pic where your 'smokin the blaster off the line'!
i love my four strokes but that pic definately makes me want a 250r.
are the 250r's faster than the 350x's?
:beer

[JLurch58]

I think so. but then again my motor is anything BUT stock LOL.

[BigGreenMachine]

Nice bike, great action shot with the Blaster. I don't think the guy on the Blaster has the attack postition mastered yet What have you done with the motor? Some serious port work I assume. More pics would be great.

[JLurch58]

The motor is ported enough that I can put my thumbs almost the whole way into the intake ports(1 thumb per port) LOL. Its had a custom lite piston, boysen carbon fiber reeds, moose reed spacer. The head has been decked .0010. I am running a carb from a CR 500 dirt bike, and a KN air filter. Racing clutches. DG exhast. It will only run on VP C-12 fuel.

there must be some crazy headwork and/or piston customization done to hae it only run on c12....im pretty sure that stuff is 120 octane, which is what the 20,000$ motocross four strokes run on.....WOW!

[JLurch58]

not 120. without looking it up I believe it is 108 octane leaded, next year I am going to switch to VP U2. Yes I have had some major engine work done, I had to there are some fast bikes in my area.

[TrikeKid]

my dad says he might do the "balls go here" thing with his extra tank for his MX360 only acctually pound two dents into the back of the tank. Great looking trike and welcome to the boards.

I got this straight from VP's web site

C12
The best all around racing fuel made. Recommended for CRs below 15:1, satisfying the needs of 75% of today's race engines. One of the winningest fuels in racing history, including Modified Tour, GNN, D.I.R.T., Indy Lights, NHRA, AMA as well as other local and national championships across the U.S. and around the world.

• Color: Green
• Motor Octane: 108
• Specific gravity: .717 at 60° F

dam!! love to put some of that in the 200x when its done..its beeing ported and polished..12:1 wiseco 2mm overbore ..and heads being shaved..its gonna be nice..piped also..yes tech ? here also..how fast would a 185s go if it 50 before at 11:41 sprockets and went to a 13:38?

[JLurch58]

changing both sprockets at the same time in my opinion is a bad idea. change the front first and see how it runs, then try the back. You will find that 1 or 2 tooth difference on the rear makes a big change.

Hey JLurch:

I see you have a Rimersburg sticker on your front fender. You are just around the corner from me. I live in Venus (Fryburg Area)

Welcome to the board. We should hook up and go riding sometime. Ever ride in Pine City??

ATCTim

[JLurch58]

yes, years ago. You should come down to sligo this summer for the drags. Its a lot of fun.

[atctim]

Where at in Sligo? Off what Route?

Myslef and a few friends of mine would be very interested in coming out this summer.

I have a 350X and a Moded Big Red, my bro has a moded 200S (it is awesome for dragging - will almost hang with the 350x in 150 Foot) and my other riding buddy has an 89 250R (quad) with the 86 crankcase (hot set-up)

Give me more info!!!!!

[JLurch58]

We race in sligo off of RT68. As soon as the dates are posted I will post them here.
