Title: Checking in from Auburn WA!
Post by: kjohnsiii on November 18, 2016, 11:52:16 AM: Hello,
My name is Kenny and I am new to the TRX 250r quad but not new to atv's. I am looking forward to what this forum has to offer. I'm also looking forward to meeting the members on here. I have learned a lot on the facebook group but feel that I can also benefit from any additional information. I recently traded mu yfz 450r for a 86 trx and have no regrets. I mainly ride at the sand dunes in Oregon and I can't wait to try my new quad out there.:acne:

When you say new do you mean that Jim Dunken actually ported a cylinder for you recently? If he did I'd like his number please. I want to build a 280 like Vince had in his ghost bike.

Post by: kjohnsiii on February 02, 2017, 10:13:47 AM: So the cylinder came from a friend and he didn't know what the "Jd" engraving meant. So we don't know much about it other than it's been ported.

Post by: broken1 on February 02, 2017, 11:25:15 PM: Gotcha. JD is Jim Dunken, an engine builder from the portland area but he closed up shop in the late 90's early 00's I think. Arguably he built some of the fastest bikes on the west coast in the early mid 90's. Mostly banshee's but he also built some wicked R's. I have a 66.5 JD cylinder I want to try out someday. Let me know how you like it.

Post by: kjohnsiii on February 02, 2017, 11:37:28 PM: That's good to know the history on it, thanks.
So far I'm taking it easy but I can tell it has a bigger hit than the stock cylinder! Right now I have a fmf sst pipe that is getting replaced with a lrd standard bore pipe in a couple weeks. I'm hoping that it's a better pipe and then I can do some tuning...
