Nice I was out there for a while, I used to ride bmx with a guy named Zed who was into dirt bikes as well.. he does the stayhi videos..

As far as the cases go its really not a big deal. You could pretty much see by eye where you would have to grind a little bit..as you look in from the out side of the cases you can see a bump and that bump is what prevents the lobe on the counter balance to pass through and fully seat the counter balance. I'll see if I can get a picture when I get home from work..

Others have posted no problem so I bet that counter ballancer area recieved any needed tweaks. As more .org members go this route we will get more feedback.

I have a set of the new ESR cases.. for the most part they are pretty good.. I give them a 8 out of 10. The nice thing about them is that you can buy them with a while bearing kit pressed in and ready to go.

Nice looking motor. I believe the outside surface is very rough as I have a few ESR clutch covers. Just went heavy on the paint for a smooth shiny surface.

I agree its working with the std casting suface as well. I was surprised that they were as smooth as they were in pics with just a powder job. Both the case and clutch covers being that smooth with powder is a bonus surprise to me. Not perfect but I like it.

Yes puma they do seem a bit rough in spots.. I got one of the first couple on the second batch so they may have remedied the counter balance issue as I'm sure they have received some feed back about the minor issue of the counter balance cavity.. I am truly grateful though and support them fully for stepping up and making products for people that have the 250r passion/ addiction! But if you are building a motor that may be of show quality I would suggest getting the raw unpowdered cases and doing all the prep work to make them smooth.. all and all they seem great so far on my work bench ha!

First runs of anything typically have a few bugs to work out. ESR makes a great product so I'm sure they have addressed or are currently addressing any problems. From the feedback I've seen so far I may just have to put in a few more hours of overtime and pick a set up.

So I tried to snap a pic if there area that needed altering in the counter balance area but couldn't get a clear shot.. more or less if you look in from your right side case half you will see the small area that has a radius shape to it on the left hand side. You just need to mimick that on the left side case half.. as I look at my motor now I also remember my shift shaft being tight as well. But nothing 5 minutes if 1000 grit sand paper didn't fix
