took out to the dunes this weekend and was pretty impressed light as a feather! found it was pinging quite a bit under load so had to keep short shifting, not sure if its too small main jet or the comp is too high?

Looks really sharp I like the colours. Have you figured out your compression ratio, what's the engine specs? I would check to see if your using the the right gas and probably go up a few mains as well.

thanks man, its a stock barrel with a CR head gasket and 2 base gaskets as recommended by Allen Knowles and running on 98. From memory i think i put a 165 main in it because im not runing an airbox

Very cool. I noticed the license plate and was curious. Many 250R's over there?

You probably have as much in shipping everything there then the cost of the parts, must be nice to have something really unique and different than everyone else.

If you don't mind, was it hard to get the TRX into the country?
