Eric Gorr big bores!
Danger4u2:
About the time I think I have read most of the old posts up comes another one. As far as Eric goes this is the first bad info I have heard. The old posts I just read were kind of nasty. I understand engin problems. Before accusing a person of fraud and hoping they spend time with Bubba, you better be able to prove the fraud they allegedly comitted. There are slander laws and this is a public forum. There are many variables on each end, did Eric torque everything correct, was the squish correct? On the other hand did kxtaz over rev the engin, did he put oil in the gear box? The rust on the gears is a big question for me. How did it get there and why was it still there after he ran the motor with oil in it. Also like Eric said why did you wait so long to bring this to my attention? I will take this whole thred with a grain of salt. Like my Mom said "If you don't have anything good to say it's best to say nothing at all". Another thing, the lack of marks on the torx bolts. Did Yamaha put them in with no marks? I quess he was looking for marks from them being removed, should be marks from install from Yamaha wouldn't you think?
#1: Lets stick to the facts and not do character assassination.
#2: Opinions are like aaa....errr.... motorcycles, everyone should have one and some are better than others.
I would like to know the out come of the gripe session/law suit.

Danger, KXTaz owned his own engine performance shop. I don't know why in hell he would have used Eric Gorr if he did his own work.....? Sounds like a way to burn others business just to make your business look better? Maybe to make himself feel better about his own crap work? Hard questions to answere as this thread is 3 years old. But I was around when this was going on and it burned me to no end to read the crap they posted here.
Also, of all the work I've had done by Mr. Gorr, I've never had any complaints that I can't settle on the phone with him.

Sounds like the knock'em down to make himself look bigger. That never works.

No matter what the issue is, there will always be one disgruntled individual who bashes on another for bad service or work. I work in off road powersports retail, and I can tell all of you with 100% honesty that 90% of engine failures are due to operator stupidity and ignorance. The other 10% are covered by honest factory warranties. :)
I personally could care less about one pi$$ed off chooch bashing E.G. I am STILL absolutely going to have him do up my porting.

I was suprised to read about the Eric Gorr motor debacle.
I just took delivery of my K5, I want more everywhere ported cylinder, modified head, piston and totally squared away KIPS assembly for a mere $200 plus shipping from EG.
Turnaround time was less than 2 weeks. Totally satisfied.
I agree with Gowen.
4 strokes always have and always will suck. 1 trip through the gears on a tuned K5 always shuts them up.
