Guys just went to the dunes with some friends, both have 450r,s one is ported and cam bigger piston and dasa, other is same without the porting. Well when dragging the ported one would get me by half a bike if I didn't shift absolutely perfect. He had straight 8 paddles.
My bike has a frest top end with HjR dune port, +4 timing, stock crank, chariot reeds, fmf fattys, 28mm pwk's, 13/41 gearing with crappy v paddles. I know I need to change sprockets and get better paddles but I thought I would be pulling harder on him. I rode the ported 450r and it hooks up and pulls hard as fuck
