Going to pull a few more tricks out of your sleeve for this one? I'm finally about to get mine back out on the streets. Tuned in to see where you go with it this time.

Im still not 100% sure but considering a very high port timing and compression bump.
Better pipe and carb.
I want it stupid fast. :-o
RoostDaddy:
When you say very high, what are your thoughts. Is that pipe designed for a high 190’s exhaust duration? What are your plans for the transfers? Do you have a specific head design laid out, and are you thinking a big carb or small carb? Interested in what direction you are going and how the results are. Keep us updated.

Mike,
Long time no talk! I just sat down and read your thread page 1 - 24 on oem-cycle for the tard.. ! Looks like this one is about the same if not the exact same write-up and I'm actually a member to this site.. I get confused many times with the KX Guru racing pages as you are in Oregon but if I recall there people using accounts associated with you here in California as well. Your a busy guy I know, very excited for your build man you've been building her since the thread started on oem-cycle circa 2012? curious as to why this thread contains 43 pages, and the other about far less... anyway ROCK AND ROLL BABY you got the coolest KX Supermotard on earth; must ask though, you ever seen rolandsands design for the super single concept? Taking your experience building so many of these KX500 engines, and that concept sounds like a recipe for "win on Sunday, sell on Monday"
Badass, brother! Never got to thank you on freely giving your time to message me while I worked out the kinks on my previous kx500 also year 2001 (which was my first k5).

I think this will be a good fit
And, while I'm at it I'll strip it down and start over...
