First time in the sand this weekend at Sand Lake and figured out a swingarm might not be a good idea, every gear the front end pulls up there's tons of power with these motors.

I might get it chromed but up here at 7000 feet rust isn't to much of a issue.

I don't believe you are hearing how crisp it really is. Kinda sounds like its choked. You can see the black smoke. It should clear up with no problem.

Yes you were, but it sounds better when the choke is not muffling the real crisp tone of this motor. This motor is one of a set of twins Pete built me. The one I ride sounds exactly the same. Does not sound like a 431, more like a new 250 in a deeper pitch. You would be surprised if you listen to the air-filter only. You get just as much sound in the in-take as you do the exhaust.
