Ok,

now that Polaris had told me that they aren't going to honor the warranty on my 525. Can anyone recomend a good engine shop I can send my 525 to? I'm going to need a complete rebild for this one.

Jump over to ktmtalk.com and talk to Travis on there. If you look up any info on building engines, EVERYONE on there will tell you to go to that guy. He works out of www.roughhousecycles.com, a place in Cali, and sounds like he does AMAZING work on the KTM motors. I am going with a 570 build from him over the winter. He will give you his cell number to call him direct and is a good guy to talk to, full of suggestions based off of the type of riding you do. He will do anyhting from racking the case open and dropping in a lightened stroker crank to just some mild porting. It sounds like he builds som beasts and they are very reliable!
