Hey guys I havent really posted on here in a while so I just wanted to check in and post a update of what I've been up to. Dont hate on me too bad but I made the trip the dark side back in april and picked up a 06 LTR450. Funny thing is the day I brought it home my 250r lost spark :scary: So I ended up letting the old girl sit most of the summer while I sank some money into the ltr. I decided to yank the motor out of the 250r and have it rebuilt, not because it lost spark just because I knew my crank was getting old and had some minimal play when I threw on the 310 cylinder. So I took the motor out, sent the crankshaft out to Titan racing for a rebuild, got it back and had a local guy put in all new bearings and seals for the bottom end. While it was apart I found a loose ground wire that I figured was the reason it lost spark so I repaired that but when I put the motor back in the other night and kicked it over still no spark :( I'm gonna take a chance and get a new stator this week, hopefully that solves it....I cant wait to get it running again, The 450 is sweet but its no where near as fun to ride as the 250r which is a hell of alot lighter and easier to throw around. It is nice having both though.... So anyway thats what Ive been up to....heres a few pics to enjoy
