We gotta cut the case with a decent end mill. .125 off the kicker side I think its .535 off the sproket side but I'm not sure there. Cant find my standard. Well I ended up with pratice cases on this cause my main bore is shot. on the gen 3 it worked out opposite like 125 off the sproket side & the 535 off the kicker side. When you set up your mount height you want set it off of the kicker move it to 3/4 stroke & set your mounts from there. When you have it right you will see that your pipe will clear the Y

Doesnt look like there is room for the exaust springs?
Which teraflex is it? I hear there are 2 places of manufacture... one ROCKS, one is So so... (think one is steel belted, one isnt)...
How heavy is it?
Looking good thus far!

Everything is tight at this point, your kicker alignment sucks. It either rubs the pipe or frame even though I clearanced it, "the frame," after setting it up when I did the motor mounts. I'm hoping to hit a half gear on the nuetral setup in the case sprag, or I'll get a kx420 kicker & bend it with the torch to get a fit between the frame & pipe. The CPI does kick ass over the FMF or Procircuit for fit. The springs for attaching the pipe are a challenge but look at broken frame pics of AF conversions on the net & you'll be hessitant to cut like me. Just a bit of die grinding in the kicker C will help & but do it before you powder coat. Even after that you can trim on the kicker stubb & gain a little more. you will have to mount the jug & then roll it into the mounts to assemble it which is a struggle for some. The 3.7 gallon tank is a must, after pushing a bike 2mi home 3 times you'll see Y , it should clear the plug & head nicely . Those stock 250 tanks are only good for 1hr & 45 minutes "no longer"

It is the sucky Tflex Moto but I will replace it with the USA version in a month of riding. The springs are tight but if you stretch 2 coils into a straight you have the flat spot you need to clear the frame. Tell me how the total seal worked & please answer on the reeds. Paul has my boot & visions of greatness are dancing through my head. What are you doing on your "mix & match"

Not really trick Tuck, I'm PO' so the easier & cheaper the better. The chassis was $375 after I sold the motor & plastic. The motor I've lost track on after a grand or better, but I bought a running 1999 with a spare motor for $1300 sold the motor for $850 & pieced the rest on ebay for about another $600. Most of the cash is in the 550cc kit & the fact my powervalves & case's were shot. I'll post some pics on Windowing &coating the piston, balancing the crank, & assembly that I'm doing myself, as it is my trade. Be another week or 2 depending on how long it take the cases & cylinder to get here
