Go pay him a visit, for $5200 I would be knocking down his door.

Im not sure if its worth it to you, but get that engine back if you can. Those things are so hard to find now. Big collectors items. Also, big red flag at 10k. As a quad guy myself, ive had 4 stroke Suzuki and Can-am engines fully, built, with some hand me down factory parts for about 6k. (I was tight with a factory supported satellite team) 10k?! That's just price gouging. I understand if you guys are just over it, but if you can, get that thing back in your possession. If you get it back, let me...

Did he not do the bike for Ryan Hughes at the Ranch 86 cr 250 ? Man that sucks for sure because always heard he does great work. Seems like the engine builders are as bad as Helmet painters.

Just because team guys are "cool" doesn't mean they're good people. When money, and "issues" are involved, people will do stuff they might not do otherwise... Hope this works out for the good.

MX business world has some of the biggest flakes and excuse makers around.There should be a caveat emptor sticky.But then there would ruffled feathers due to the secrecy and good ol’ boy nature of it all.

Wow! Glad you got that gem back! Was that bought as a Mugen model that came with the tank/seat or did you find the tank/seat somewhere?

I have no personal experience with Watts Perfections, but since you're asking, I have seen him post photos on Facebook on more than one occasion over the years that eventually led to someone in the comments asking him to "please return my calls, cylinder, motor, and/or money."

He’ll of a bike!

Chad did two motors and some other stuff for me over the course of 3-4 years about 10ish years ago when he was still in the shop he built in Shelby, NC. I had zero problems with him or his work at that time. Not making excuses for him but I know he went through a divorce shortly after my dealings with him. Hope all involved can get everything worked out and hope the OP’s friend kicks the shit out of cancer.

What kind of absolute filthy a-hole downvotes a post about a guy with cancer being ripped off for $5k? You need to take a look in the mirror and have a real hard think on life!!!

Sent a 07 CR 250 cylinder, head and crank to him about 7-8 years ago. Wasn't easy getting my stuff back, was a huge ordeal, think it was close to a year? Once I finally got it back the work was impeccable and the bike ripped! Really a shame because the guy is talented!

What is up with these motor guys?

That’s too bad, he does incredible work. Sorry for your buddy, I hope Chad does the right thing !
