Awesome, thank you. Sent him an Email for some other parts I will need. Had considered selling the bike recently but riding it and liking the uniqueness of it makes me want to keep it. Kelly
see guys? that's why we shop at Motosportz. they know what you need, before you do...and it's already on the way! now THAT'S service. meep-mreeeep!
those Rotax 400 series motors are tractorlike (overbuilt) everything inside is well machined and stout. K be sure to check your (tiny)reed cage while she is apart, also they should be good, but also check the port match for no material and gasket interference. These things run quite a bit smoother with the ports all matched/cleaned up. another source for ATK/Rotax stuff, dont know if its the same guys as listed above, these guys were always helpful http://www.americandirtbike.com/ we went through this before I had this exact model machine http://www.americandirtbike.com/4065a.jpg
Yes, the motor looks new inside and is way overbuilt and kinda cool. Reed cage is the upgraded American Dirtbike one so I am cool there. Ports and cylinder / head look new.
i remember the first time i rode one like that. man was i impressed. couldnt afford it. wish id got one. they last forever and claw through and over everything. adb's got a 406 on sale..hmmm... also wanna 92ish ktm 550 D-XC. good greif...im headed down the same road as....the bike smasher!
dudes after viewing it,,,,,I wish......it was still in my garage!!! dang it!! they even say only 200 88 models were built with the CalFab swingarm. cool machine.
WOW, Emailed him, wish I would known this earlier as his response was quick, and AWESOME prices. Will keep in in my notes and already let people in the exotic forum on TT know. Thanks.
Its mostly because the miles you put on Kelly ....you guys down south of the border ride like a bunch of fiends !!! I remember we got our WR's about the same time...and within a few months I was amazed how many miles you were racking up compared to myself...I only have about 1800kms on mine I think thats a good thing...keep putting on those miles . keep it up and get that TE449 asap
Washington is full of hard core riders. My ride buddies say i am crazy and want to ride more than anyone but i just say... Jake. Jake on this forum likes to ride as much or more then me. In fact he is at indoor MX right now the bastid. But your right, lots of miles means broken bikes. I don't do much crash damage (hardly any) but the motors and suspension take a beating over time.
If it was the moment I am thinking of, in Oregon, in October that was indeed a hard head on, based on the carnage. Or was there a hard head on in September, and you forgot about October? Regardless, it sounds like you are having fun.
