Default Limits of the stock gear box

Well been spraying my motor to get into the low 13's and broke the gear box I figure I'm around 50 rear wheel horse power now and it wipe out some of the shift forks.

I've installed the 09 gears now and coated the all the gears and polished and had all the gears croyed so will see how it goes.

I'm at the 109 mph mark in the 1/4 now so high 12 should be easy but I'm having a hard time with wheeling even when strapping the front end down.

I did do a cam run but some how shut it off and thought I had turned it on oh well next time.

Thats almost as much power as my old CR500.

I find it funny that how sought after some folks were with the 351 kit when that came out that no one is pestering you for your big bore wizardy secrets....or maybe they are and you wont revel them lol

Not to be OT, but why did you get rid of the CR500? That's my dad's dream bike... he has one as his desktop wallpaper LMAO... he says that big bore 2-strokes are where its at... simplicity of 2-stroke plus the low end power of a big displacement engine.

50hp. Nice!

12's in the 1/4mile is awesome, got to see video!

You must really turn some heads at the track with a dual sport/SM.

Good luck with the new gears!

Because it was shot.

Engine was in top notch A1 shape, and the plastic was new, but the rest of the bike was trashed. You couldn't see it, but trust me, it was there.

Wow 50HP.
Can't really blame the gear box for giving out.
That's over 2 and half times stock HP.
