    FXR's

    I spoke with Ron Early today and it wasnt good news. He didnt have much good to say about these engines. Ron told me that they did race the 125 & when it ran it was fast, but didnt have any luck with it holding up. He then bought a 150 engine & had the same problems.He also has a Pitster pitbike that the motor blew up. Thats when he decided to move Ryan up to the schoolboy class & get away from the minis.

    He did say that Ryan loved the suspension & handling of the quad. I hated to hear this but I'm glad that I called him. I'ts a shame that Pitster wont back these motors for more than 30 days.

    you havent owned a cvt mini. It isnt just the engine, but the clutch, variator, rollers, belts....etc
    Lucky for me & you our kids never come down on the gas or the list would include trannys.

    I haven't had any real problems with the motor Jams running now other than his 3rd gear shift fork wearing prematurely about 5 months ago. I ordered a duplicate motor and rebuilt the other for a backup. I'm in the process of making a race motor of it to give it alil more umph off the line. The stock duplicate motor hasn't missed a beat in those 5 months and I'll see how much abuse it took during the offseason rebuild. I did see a small crack in his swinger and was pretty much expecting it after running DC. I'm sure after Dusty works his magic on it as well as a couple other small things we'll be bulletproof for next season.

    I wish there was some new info from Pitster on these quads.
    Would like to see some MX results versus DRR & Apex on a track.
    C'mon Pitster.......
