KX500 shifter kart build
Brute:
Standing up hair should be no problem! What is the weight difference between the 125 engine and the 500? I can't imagine it is all that much? Road race kart would be able to use the power to get more top speed, but it is more about the experiment I guess. I used to do stuff like that. Not quite that extreme though!
Polar-Bus:
I'll scale both the engines i'm guessing about a 10-15 lb diff ? I also have a Mychron4 data unit which will be a fantastic tuning device for the engine. It tells me rpm's, water temp, lap times, and EGT's . So once I dial in a sweet tune, i'll post all my data. I've always wondered how "good" (or not) my "seat of the pants" jetting combos really are. The EGT will tell me for sure.
