Congratulations Danny! 3 years and 4 days? As if you could actually predict the 4 days. Or do you have the c-section scheduled already?

Anybody want to go ride Hawaii with me?

Advice given to me (by what I'd consider a reputable source) was assemble it dry using an OEM gasket (no substitutes) with the exception of of a bit of yamabond on the thin wall between the crank and the tranny.

How EXACTLY do you do this? The service manual makes no sense to me on this one. Neither does any of the advice I've been given.

This is one thing I'd like to see a howto video of.

Two idiots giving the same advice doesn't mean it's good advice.

I'd like to suggest that pulling the carb is no big deal, and you should get used to pulling it occasionally. You can also loosen the clamps, rotate the carb, and remove the float bowl, pilot jet, main, float and float jet etc., for a smaller amount of work. You can also change the main jet by rota...

Porting won't change that. You'd be able to get it to pull harder on top, but scream? No. Too much metal moving too far to "scream". You can get some more RPM's out of it if you lighten the crank, but it will never scream.

Yup. You bought a CR500 alright.

Stuff I'm interested in:

What do your radiators look like? Mine are functional, but hashed.
Is that radiator braces I see?
Plastics.
Frame Guards.
Skid Plate.

nevermind. I don't actually need any of it.

I just had a YZ80 done by him. It will take a few days, but he'll answer his email and give you an address to send the stuff. If you're in a hurry, he's not your man.

...and radiator guards...

I there one that is good to use with a helmet camera and can be used as a regular camera? Just not to up to speed on this topic. The Canon MiniDV line takes stills, and works with an external camera. A bit spendy though. I'm sure there are many others that do I only bring it up as I have a little e...

Could very well be the same trail. Looks just like that. If it is, shortly after they stop, the downhill gets nasty. We thought the bridges looked like they might be fun to ride with the dirt bikes but had no confidence they would hold up. Kinda narrow for our liking too. Very cool vid though.

http://miahdesign.com/dirt/Reiter_7-29/ These guys refer to this downhill as "Ass Wipe". I've been down it a couple of times. Very cool. The only way you're going up this way is on a trials bike or on foot. http://miahdesign.com/dirt/Reiter_7-29/images/IMG_0050.jpg http://miahdesign.com/di...

I'll second what BigPower said. I also have the Mo Betta. I really like the power delivery on mine. I had some material removed from the head on mine so I could get away with pump gas. If I feel like it, I have a stock head to throw back on it. With the stock head and some good gas, the thing just b...

Just to hold the seal in.
