    @SpookDog Turns out if you run 421 pitch chain on a bike putting out nearly 30+ ponies, it's really only good for a few ride outs.

    Snapped 2 years ago, haven't ridden it since. Restoring it back to 520 pitch.

    Was rapid though, probably did like 500 miles on a chain which was probably only designed to do a single race 😉

    6Nm rings a bell 🤣 Haynes is invaluable.

    @HOTSHOT-III Interesting bike that Aprilia,never seen one before.
    A DT could transform into something similar,twin headlights, modified bigger tank, keep it's enduro costume.

    @Calum I would grab a tig/mig and extensively repair the frame. But I am known to see hope/light in garbage stuff with a lot of time and work coming back to life.
    Example. I was offered an XT500 with low km's but sea salt corrosion damage to the frame,not passing "MOT" here.Very low money,but I have no time....for now waits to the owner garage until I find time.

    Moral of the story from this I can see is

    More horse power = power maintenance worm with pustion changes probably more regularly

    Keeping the dep exhaust carbon reeds and sprocket changes seems like the best for performance with out risking blowing pistons more frequently

    I did see a video on YouTube on how to make two stroked more powerful but with this there was a risk of blowing the engine maybe if you want a fast bike just get a bigger one?

    I wanted a yz road legal but for daily use I can imagine these get warm and aren't really good for road bikes sure for the track for a couple hours it's all good

    The dtr is a true work horse in my opinion

    @Hark_Ptooie I found with the Tecno expansion chamber (basically identical to the Athena) it fitted a lot easier using the genuine Yamaha rubber grommet and spacer on the upper mount. The ID of the spacer is quite large and allows a little more movement to line it up than the grommet/spacer supplied..
