2 over the past few years there have been a handful of guys who have shown up on one to qualify. in 2012 Chris Blose showed up to hangtown on a yz250 but he failed to qualify. in 2014 someone at Muddy Creek someone qualified on a KTM but he crashed on a downed Trey Canard.
typically in the 450 class its not as cost effective as 450s don't have an issue with needing more power. Typically people are trying to make manageable power because when you start getting up near 55-60 the bike gets harder to control. in fact its rumored RC's RMZ 450 was putting out around 55 because he could ride it harder than if it had more. Think like riding a 125 vs a 250. a 125 can be ham fisted and thrown around like a rag whereas a 250 needs some respect
I am not going to get into the specifics but lets just say there may or may not have been several high profile 450 riders that may or may not have gotten their feelings hurt on Mt Saint Helens. I will leave it at that.
please, do you know a LECTRON Carb? Have you any experience with this? I'm confused, because I want to try with LECTRON but it haven't a TPS connection, And probably the performance will be little bit lower...
Thank you in advanceHi Blackdiamond,

However, I have one on my RM250 and the bike runs great. Super crisp and it is really smooth power.

I also remember MC riding an 06 CR250r model at one of the Anaheim races that yr. & holeshoted against the factory 450's & other 250 2 strokes. He finished in 4th place that night & only RC (RMZ450), JS (KX450) & CR (YZF450) beat him in the main. Those 3 riders made the podium that evening & MC missed it by one spot.
I believe MC's 06 motor was done by PC (Mitch Payton) since Honda was no longer doing any R&D after the 05 season on the CR250. I think Fonseca was the last Honda rider on a Factory CR250r in 2005 if not mistaken.
Surratt #151 testing at Pala
I ran it this past weekend with the PWK up on the Mogollon Rim in AZ because of the heat in the valley. Man my jetting was rich! It wouldn't even take half throttle. That was with a 42 pilot, NEDW needle in 3rd clip and 172 main. I ended up dropping the needle to 2nd clip and going with a 168 main and it ran amazing! It was a bit weak on the bottom end but I really didn't do much fine tuning and the 7500' elevation with low 90's temps sure didn't help. I am also running 13 48 gearing since my 265 build was basically all bottom end and wouldn't rev.
With the weather sitting around 115 in the valley I am not sure when I am going to get some real playtime with this thing to get it dialed. I will say the powerband on it was super smooth and revved way higher than my 265 build.
Thanks for your input!
Pit Row
Sounds awesome as well
btw, bike sounded great in the Mammoth video!
