might have been, but there is another one there getting a bigbore and they get mine and that one confused all the time when I talk to them.  The amount of phone calls I have made you would think they could get it straight by now.  I know, the volume of cylinders that must go through that place is alot.  I cleaned up the porting myself before I sent it down there, but then wanted them to actually port it, change the port timing not just a clean up.  I figured they would know what to do.  That motor has been around a long time.  I guess I should have done it myself.  I didn't raise the transfers or touch the port timing at all, and the guy tells me ya its pretty hogged out as it is.  I guess if you scratch the surface of the ports a little it means its ported to him.  I even went through the trouble of degreeing the ports and drawing up a port map so I could see just what timing they changed it to.  I snapped lots of pictures before it went.  What a waste of time.  At least I got it cleaned up because I am sure they would have told me it wasn't worth it.  Mabye there right about that but it makes me feel a little better seeing everything cleaned up and smoothed out.  

BDI:
I bet if you asked them to detune it they would be more then happy to do that for you.

Ya, they just phoned me today, left a message since I was at work with my cell phone.  They want to get the shipping straightened out and I guess the address I gave them yesterday wasn't good enough???  another two days delay, not going to see it this weekend now for sure.  I tell ya, can you drag your feet any slower.

kaw rider:
i would rather be in your shoes then other guys with K5. Other guys spending big money for lower hp. save your money on other mods.

Ya I guess your right, I do have faith in the workmanship and quality.  I have the suspension valved and sprung for my weight and riding style, all the other bits like bars handguards and fancy levers, etc.. I have already.  I wouldn't mind a hydraulic Magura clutch, there nice.  I am sure it won't be long after I install the new clutch/springs I will have it.  I just want to ride, I already missed two supermoto events and numerous trail rides.  At least I have been out Trials riding alot.
