Bought it in the crate from the dealer, first one in washington, road it for a bout 350 miles and then hauled it to SIR and racedit in 250 production. Made it about 5 laps before it started to seize so i was disapointed! took it home and barrels off it only had 1/2 thousands piston to wall clearance, so I honed it out to 3 and bluprinted the barrels and milled the heads down 15 thou. Put some uni filters on it and was ready for the next season. From the stock top end of 80 it would now do 100. Also did a little pipe drilling. It was competive but sure could have used the sixth gear the yamahas had I finished 3rd for the season.
