Questions on building

[LapTraffic]

Ive been lurking and doing searches on this subject for a bit now and I was wondering if I could ask a few questions.

Building a YZ or CRF powered quad looks very cool.

Is anyone going with KTM 520 or 525's or larger powerplants? Are 450's prefered due to racing restrictions on cc's?

What kind of horsepower does a CRF or YZ 450 make?

I have a cannondale now, how do these powerplants compare?

What kind of curb weight are these quads? I imagine without a starter and battery they save several pounds, are they around the 350 mark or heavier?

Thanks, I really appreciate your time.

Heya Fastdale!

I tell ya, after riding a Cannondale, there is no way in he!! I will buy a production quad from a company unless it is the shiznit.

Not into mediocrity. The CRF or YZF in an Arens frame looks like a pretty good combo, I just know nothing about it, Bike weight, horsepower to the rear wheel, 'feel'

I mean, does it rip or what? :)

I'll bad all this nonsense talk if Cdale rebounds, but if not, Im buildin my own :)
