I like the high compression 2 stroke feel my 06 has. It revs up quick and is very throttle responsive.
The question is I have the bottom end apart right now, and Im wondering if I should stroke it. Im afraid that I wont like the change.what would you do? I drag race it and ride sand pits a lot, and open technical tracks, I only ride tight trails about 20% of the time,

Don't do it. Consider it, when you need to replace the crank.

Ive got it apart right now to replace bearings and seals, and im probaly going to replace crank, It has alot of hours and I like to keep the motor fresh. The rod has some wear in small end.

I just dont know if I should replace stock or stroke?
if I stroke it 3mm will I loose the quick rev that I like?

You'll gain some torque and it will bump up your compresion a little more...

What kind of cam are you running? My guess is that's what is giving you the 2 stroke feel.

Im running a h/c 2 (but i have a few different cams, sparks, HRC)with 14:1 Baldwin piston and its an 06 they seem to rev a little quicker than the 04/05. And I really like the way it feels,

but as with anything I have I always want more!

I think im going to go for the stroke,since its apart, and next ill do the head to help it breath a little better(when I can afford),
I know Ill loose a little of the quick rev but ill get some torque. I know ill regret the change at first and eventually learn to love the power!
Ive definitely got a problem that im never happy!
