The d**n stock guards kept falling off, even after buying new rads and new guards, it wasn't even a little time at the track before they would tumble off and get run over.

Its a common issue on the 250's and the 500's. It's the vibration that chews the crap out of the plastic mount posts. I wad some Permatex silicone RTV around the posts, and install the guards. This minimizes the vibration.

I agree, I had the crank balanced and trued and that fixed the vibes issue. Along with some other mods. I didn't have that problem long after.

As to the Devol, I did hard drag races with the Devol's and never had an issue with overheating at all. Just would stress and break after awhile. Also, did alot of top-end runs too.
