great buy
December 16, 2009
"These spokes are made of 304 stainless steel. which is much stronger than oem and even the heavy excel spokes. Because they are made of more durable and stronger stainless steel they can be thinner to save weight, were as excels are thinker because they use low quality stainless steel and have to make them thicker to compensate for the lower quality stainless steel. I have ran these in my race bikes for years with no problem, the only reason why I broke these spokes is because I let them get to loose which is not the spokes fault it was my fault. these are great for the price. buy with confident!!"

D.I.D is the number one motorcycle chain in the world. D.I.D chains are used by factory races teams from all manufacturers in race series everywhere. The D.I.D ERV3 X-ring chain is the ultimate high-performance, lightweight, low-friction race chain available and is used extensively by many off-road race teams. The ERV3 X-ring chain utilizes D.I.Ds patented X-ring technology which reduces friction by 50% over standard O-ring chains for minimized power loss. The pins on the ERV3 X-ring chain have been put through a patented heat-treatment process to produce a pin that is 1.5 times harder than conventional pins. The result is a chain that is significantly stronger and offers better wear resistance than many other chains on the market. D.I.D ERV3 X-ring chains feature a gold-plated finish that resists rust and adds a little style to your motorcycle or ATV. Exclusively designed for motorcycle racing. High performance, lightweight and low friction chain provides the winning edge in World Class competition. Features gold color plates. Average tensile strength of 8,650 pounds. Wear life index: 3100. For 250 - 750cc Rally, 750cc Superbike and 250 - 750cc Endurance applications. Weight (per 100 links): 3.30 pounds. Includes a rivet-style master link. 120 links. Half the Power Loss - Compared with Normal O-ring chains, D.I.Ds patented X-Ring construction reduces friction by twisting between the side plates instead of being squashed. Normal O-rings and other makers modified O-rings have squashed points that increase friction. The twisting action of the X-Ring disperses the pressure and minimizes power loss. 1.5 to 2 Times Longer Wear Resistance - Compared with Normal O-ring chains, the X-Rings four contact points greatly increase its sealing performance. This keeps the dirt out and the lubrication in much better than any other O-ring. X-Rings have the greatest wear resistance of any other type of O-ring or non-O-ring chain. Note for installing X-ring chains: As X-ring chains are wider than standard roller chains, when fitting an X-ring chain to a motorcycle that was fitted with a non O-ring chain as original equipment, it is essential to check that there is proper clearance of the engine cases near the countershaft sprocket and any other places of close contact. Failure to do so could result in damage to the chain and motorcycle and could ultimately cause the chain to fail.

"the only negative that i have is that you guys didnt say that it has a rivot style masterlink. But i guess i should have looked up the chain myself."

"well what can i say about a brush except it does its job. the only negative i have to say about it is that who ever packaged it bent and folded it to make it fit in a box that was two sizes to small."

Unlock your dirt bike's hidden potential with the power producing and durable Cylinder Works big bore kit. No need to waste your time and money on getting your factory cylinder bored out because the Cylinder Works cylinder is stronger and more reliable. Best part about this cylinder is that it mounts directly to the factory crankcase and head. The piston and rings that come with the Cylinder Works big bore kit are reliable for any motocross race. Even down to the gaskets Cylinder Works employs high quality gasket materials for reliability. Take your 250cc engine and add 3mm for a big bore 269cc with the Cylinder Works kit. The Cylinder Works big bore kit includes: big bore cylinder, big bore piston, piston pin, piston pin rings, gasket kit. Note: to achieve optimum performance re-jet the carburetor with the available jet kits.

Which cam would best suit my needs.

I have a 06 trx 450er with a powercore 4 pipe and a power bomb header and no air box lide. Im planning on smoothing my head for better air flow would the stage 2 cam work fine or would the stage 1 be better.
The question is were do you want more power? The Stage 1 increases bottom to mid range power. The stage 2 increases midto top-end power.Either one will work good. Both use stock valve springs.

Will a stage 2 hurt or make my stock 2007 crf250r lose power? witch one should i get?

Hot Cams wont make a cam shaft that makes you lose power. The Stage 1 will give you more bottom-Mid range power. The Stage 2 cam increases top-end power and give you more over-rev. So the question is were do you want more power? Both cams work with your stock valve springs.

Used to install valve spring keepers. Replaces the large cumbersome valve spring compressor. Designed to fit the valves of 4 and 5 valve-per-cylinder heads (5 mm valve stem diameter or smaller). Made in U.S.A.
 

will this tool remove the keepers and the valves

I am trying to find a good valve compression tool for my 1987 moto-4 yamaha 350 atv. It has an overhead cam, so the valves are a bit difficult to get to.
These tool is not what you should use, the clamping type valve compression tool is better and it does a much larger variety of valves than this expensive little one.
