No signs of anything oozing down the air boot tho.
It blew up on Lucas oil. I switched back to am soil dominator.
This is the first 2stroke I've had in 10 years. Still beats the costs and bs of the four strokes.
It was running rich on the low rpm.
The only thing I can figure is the cylinder wasn't bored a little more for a forged piston.
I'm using the RM radiators which are larger and hold more than the k 500 radiators. I don't think the different radiators could cause a problem.
I can't put a pic up of the top end since im on the road in the truck but my most trusted local shop owner said he'd look at it for nothing.
Got to drop the 250 f carb and pw50 carb off anyhow.

added renthal twinwalls and tusk bark busters (with 7/8 mounts).
i cut up an old handlebar and mounted the bark busters to the crossbar.had to grind the threaded part of the mount to angle things right for the crossbar mounting. Literally a hack job on the bark buster mounting but it seems solid.
Those are pro grip street grips hidden there somewhere. i like the full gel and larger diameter.been running those for years on other bikes. heres the 1st link i found to the grips (photobucket is a pain in my @$$) http://www.oemcycle.com/Item/product/900023787

I noticed on efm's website in the FAQs it says you can still use your clutch lever..... I sent them an email.
Sure would be a nice alternative to trying to make a rekluse work.
I thought the EFM eliminated the clutch lever but it says here... --> http://www.efmautoclutch.com/faq.shtml

Got an email back from Garry EFM. I asked if he could do a kx500 and keep the use of the lever. Here's what he sent back.
As long as the clutch pushes to the outside we can maintain the manual lever

I also emailed moto tassinari about reeds. Good news. here's their reply
Bad news is I have a gray vforce that is not a vforce 2... idk what to do but my carb fits tight with the stock carb.
There is a crossbar in the frame that wouldn't let me use the vforce by 1/4 inch. So its mod the frame or run the stock cage with boyesens.
