And she's technically mine!
Was a little nervous about how much grief the CA DMV was going to give me as it was registered in Montana, never in California, I didn't bring it into the state and of course the engine change which they never questioned where or who it came from.
I had more trouble registering my 1990 KX500 which was unregistered for 12 years although I owned it the entire time. Had 3 DMV visits and a CHP visit just to make it legal.
Love the engine number ;)

Spent all weekend in Glamis Sand Dunes and rode the bike 4 times.
Had a blast carving fresh bowls and taking it to the sand drags. It had rained there earlier in the week so there was much virgin sand to ride on.
The two YZ250s are my wife's.
This is at Oldsmobile Hill where of course you drag race up it.

Wive's being plural? and a bike each! Jokes
How do you compare the power characteristics to the original k5. does the modified cr5 pipe really work how they should on these bikes.

Just one wife, beleive me one is enough. Lol
The power seems almost identical to my 1990 KX500 with a standard pro circuit pipe. This bike has great tractor power down low and comes on strong until Mac rpm. It might actualy have more over rev than the 1990 I have.
