sure did, runs awesome. ive never had a motard that would burn the rear tire off exiting a turn or just straight line ripping until now. if only i could stay out of the pipe, this thing loves to drink gas at an alarming rate. small price to pay i suppose :-D

takes fuel to make power

Slow600,
Sounds as you have your K5 running good. You posted else where that you had problems with the 450's hanging on the straights (quick search did not find it). If you are now looking for more gear & spinning the tire you found the solution? I read you switched to the PC2 & the VF2 anything else?? :-D

I know when I geared my shifter kart to my local track, they tell you to try to just touch peak rpm's 3/4 way down your longest straight. How long of a road course are you racing on? If you PM me your email address, I can send you my Excel based gearing caculator program (you do need to know what peak rpm's are on your engine).
