Kyle Burnham #81 2017 Racing Season.... Big Changes!!!!

[Burns363R]

Some big changes coming this year for my 2017 racing season.  Currently the bike is getting completely disassembled and gone through.  I have pretty much finalized all my support for this up coming season and I am extremely excited to say the least.  

Here is a list of the supporters that are going to help put me and my machine at the top.  

One of the biggest changes is my partnership with Arlan Lehman and LED racing.  We are working on an XC racing package specifically for me.  I cant tell you how excited I am about this.  We have already spent a couple hours discussing the upcoming season and engine requirements for both of us.  

If you guys haven given LED a call, I highly recommend it.  Arlan is a class act and even was willing to spend time talking to me in depth when I was riding on other equipment.  

LED Racing
Motowoz Suspension
Fourwerx Carbon Jason R Conti
Spider Graphics
Rath Racing Daryl Rath
Oneal
IMS
Rekluse
Hinson
Uni Filter

KOQ Racing Tom Trompen

New paint scheme for this year as well as new graphics. New engine/pipe.  

Only a couple months away from the start of another great racing season.

Build pictures and updates will be coming soon.

That's awesome that you and Arlan are partnering with each other. I have heard great things about Arlan and his race motors. Good luck, Loren

I'm still waiting for your full report on that Koq/Motowoz no-link. Mine should be done and ready to ride in about a month.

[Burns363R]

Your right Mike, I never did post that.  Let me tell you its worth every penny.  Tom reinforced my swinger and its been great.  The suspension has so much more travel than the stock linkage.  And its so much more plush.  Its near what my CR500 link feels like.  id say 80% there.  I would have never believed that a no link could feel this good.  Ignorance on my part mostly, i hadnt been on one.  But its 10x better than my stock link.  

The KOQ swinger is a great design at a very affordable price.  Talking to Jim at Motowoz, he has told me in many different conversations that the KOQ geometry is the best there is.  Just make sure he reinforces yours like he did mine.

[Michael88R]

I think mine is a standard 88' version.  What does yours look like?

[Burns363R]

Mine is a 86 front.  And a gullwing.

Kyle how did the stock air box work out with that setup?

[Tbone07]

This is Simply the Best news I've heard in awhile! You'll love working with Arlan. There isn't a 2-stroke guy in the business with more experience building XC 2-stroke motors.

This should be a good year for the XC 250r. Mine's pretty much ready to go

Good job Kyle look forward to hearing more.

[Michael88R]

Mine is a gull wing too but I don't think there's any special gussets or reinforcement.

[Burns363R]

Ya i bent my first one within 30 minutes of racing woods.  But thats me. Im hard on parts.

As far as Arlen being good for me.  Duh... We all know Arlen, his reputation speaks for itself. haha. Im just stoked he would want to work with a small time guy like me.  The honor is all mine for sure.

Few more sponsors.  A pic of my new pipe and a start to my graphics kit thats not finalized yet.
