I literally have a package from Rocky Mountain ATV sitting on my front porch. Should've thrown this in the cart. I have an exhaust spring puller but it's for a vehicle and the tip isn't "thin" like that one. I use vice grips to hold the springs and then attempt to manhandle those little bastards.

haha, my buddy has some and his bike is torn down for a top end rebuild right now. I had half a mind to try them out too. If those damn exhaust springs weren't such a bitch, I wouldn't hesitate to try a bunch of different pipes. F*%k those things!
-
I did a plug chop and it is a tad rich if anything. It was hot that day and obviously cooling off now so I think it's going to be perfect for the trip next weekend

I may keep the T5's. Just rebuilt my top end with trail ported cylinders and it feels great. I have a chance to try some PC's at Busco next weekend if I feel like swapping them out. But I have stock carbs, 320 mains, needle on middle clip, 27.5 pilots, pods, VF4's, timing set to +5. Compression is 159/158, running 101 octane fuel.

Just sent you a text. I'm hoping to try some PC's on my bike at Busco next weekend. I'm wanting a more trail friendly pipe myself. Are you interested in T5's?

Thanks bigweav. It's been a long time coming. Grew up riding and racing MX. Started at age 4 on a Yamaha Moto4 80, moved up to the blaster and started racing MX at 13, moved to a banshee at 15 and then got it all taken away when I did some stupid shit at age 18. Went without a bike for almost 10 years. Got a nice 250R ~2 years ago and loved everything but the power so it had to go and bought this one March 2015. It had issues so I began spending money hand over foot till I finally got it all right. I'm extremely pleased with the bike now. Wouldn't get rid of it for anything. Hell, now that I know banshees, I want to buy another for cheap and build it to suit

eBay, it's the 19 mm diameter
-
Temp gauge cost $46 with rush shipping
-
Yeah, Justing ported the cylinders. The gauge seems to be accurate just based on resting temp and what it read inside my house/outside in the garage before install.

I was born ready man, especially for riding and drinking beer

Edit: Squish is .049, not .059. Won't let me edit my own post WTF

I've been at it for a few weeks rebuilding my top end. The new parts include
Ported stock cylinders - Hardcore trail "surfport"
Cool Head with 20 cc domes
Wiseco pistons
All cometic gaskets
Trail Tech TTO temp gauge
New tie rod ends
I took my time as this was a first for me. Learned to measure squish, built a leak down tester and acquired a lot of tools along the way. I want to say thanks to Surfrjag for all of his help fielding my rookie questions throughout the rebuild.
I ended up with 158/159 PSI, no leaks (eventually), squish at .059. Dropped a tooth on the front sprocket so I'm at 13/41 now. Jetting is now set at 320 mains, needle in the middle and 27.5 pilots and plug chop says I'm a little rich but it sure doesn't feel that way so I'm going to roll with it. The cool head definitely seems to be keeping engine temps cooler too. overall, I'm very excited with my build and can't wait to hit Busco on the 25th
Took a short vid when I took it out for the "torture test" last weekend. Launching in 2nd now with the lower gearing
Fresh painted cylinders
Temp gauge (I still want to make some sort of mount for it)
Before the torture test
After torture test (lost my damn clutch cover insert!)

I took the old ones to Summit to look for a match and ended up with 4 x MOOG ES419R - they're tie rod ends for a host of VW vehicles. Exact matches plus they have a zerk fitting to grease them with. $18 each
-
Does anybody make them with zerk fittings so you can grease them?
-
Ok, I just have to determine 14mm or 16mm from what little alive been able to research. Currently have no computer at home and I've been busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest at work lately
-
What are all of your mods?
My motor is stock but I'm running T5's and pods at sea level and I'm running 300 mains.
^ This. I run 290 mains @ 800' elevation w/ T5's, pods & VF4's
-
No guesses?
-
Can anyone tell me what A-Arms I have? All I know is they're standard travel +2 +1. The ball joints are badly worn and need replacing, trying to figure out what I need to buy for replacements
-
Very nice, almost makes me wish I was in need of a front end set up. GLWS!
-
I had the same experience as Sandking. All of my transmission issues were with 2nd gear. I sent mine off thinking only 2nd would need replacing and the builder tore it down and showed me the cause of the issue plus bad wear on other gears that I wasn't having any trouble with (yet). In the end, I replaced 4 gears and forks. I also had him do the ProMod. Shifts smooth as butter now and haven't hit neutral by accident since.

Picked this up for $75 locally. Case closed! Thanks guys
-
I should have mentioned that I am looking for one that works with stock head studs
-
Looking for a cool head, preferably with 19 cc domes or I can buy those separate. Let me know whatcha got - Thanks
-
Geez, it's not that bad guys. I mean, I wouldn't have paid to have that done to it myself. maybe just the camo pattern minus the zombie shit
I haven't even been in the safe for several months, been busy with brewing and riding lately but I'd sell it for some over inflated price to a crazed Walking Dead fan and get something else before I painted over an expensive cerakote job that, tacky or not, could help me sell it for more than its worth. I got so many extras (21 mags, 1,000 + rounds, extra upper receiver, extra magpull stock, 2 x cheap red dots & various parts) I just couldn't pass up the deal. It's pretty reliable and accurate as fuck which is all I really care about anyway
anyone purchased or using one of these kits?

F.A.S.T. has always answered my calls or emails and shipped orders same day. Never had to wait for anything, never gotten an incorrect part etc. Jeff and Cody are great to deal with. If they have the same kit comparably priced, I would definitely recommend working with them.
