Pulled over.
Well since the Klx is down for the count (spun bearing) I've been riding my 08 Ktm 300 that been plated. I also have it in supermoto trim now so I was out riding and was pulled over today. The cop I thought was going to be a dick but really was into the bike. He couldn't get over the electric start and what I had done to a 2 stroke dirt bike. He said you weren't doing anything and I wanted to check if it was street legal. Well hope thats it for the rest of the year. This thing is a beast !Hard to keep the front end down in any gear. No engine braking and wheel spin out of low speed corners it's alot of fun. Now the Klx is getting a stroker crank and some engine work before it goes back together. Hope you all have a great summer of riding.

RE: Pulled over.
I had a tricked upKR1S 250 back in the day that I miss dearly. Now that thing was a blast! Green chain, windscreen and body, not to mention metalic geen weights on both handles. Your right WestOz about the sticky tyres and big grin on the chops. Here is a clip of a dude here in Oz that owns a KR500 two smoke. Legend of a bike and pretty rare these days. At the end of the clip he rides it for a bit and revs the guts out of it.....................farrrrrk me rome what a beast!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojeq3iu4HrY
Cheers!

RE: Pulled over.
That was sweet, thanks for the link mate.
Back in the day I was probably chasing your KR1S on my TDR250, modded with TZR250 3 spoke mags and Gianelli spannies.
On the back wheel of course.
Something like this.

RE: Pulled over.
Wow that yamaha is awsome! Love 2 stroke sport bikes. Well my buddy and I were beating the crap out of the Ktm and the klx and I think he lost some oil out of the klx with his many falls, and trying to keep up with me on the ktm I think he starved the klx of oil and wiped out a lower rod bearing. The cases are apart and we are trying to get a idea of the connecting rod length for the stroker. Were doing the work ourselves since he has a small racecar engine shop. I'm going to use the 340 that I had and also over bore the sleeve and then maybe just order a custom piston. Depending on what rod that can be used the cc should be anywhere from 370-385cc. I just wish someone could come up with a cdi that I can advance to get the timing I need for somemore hp. This will be a long project due to the summer racecar season and I have two bikes to ride already. I'll keep you updated!

RE: Pulled over.
Did you read the "300kit coming this week " thread?
Page 2 gives some info on advanced ignition for the KLX, 13000 RPM and 40HP is possible. The Aus Kawasaki team raced klx250's in the Thumper Nationals.
A guy called Kevin Doyle was heavily involved, and produced custom cams for the high spec KLX's.
