WORCS Round 1 - Phoenix

[BC]

FCI Filter- so a 8 ply oiled gauze filter....Im not too concerned about that filter and water.  Because the fact is I wont EVER race in water like that again.  Sticky mucky mud Im ok with, but Ive ALWAYS been very gun shy about water like that.  I was all geeked up because it was the 1st round and mud is the great equalizer(evidenced by me leading my class LOL)- so I went for it.

I think the piston is going to be OK, I'll just throw new rings on it.  Crank is toast though.  Hopefully when I split the cases, I wont find any more surprises...

thats amazing that one dunk took out your motor but Dustys YFZ inhaled a massive quantity of sand with no affects

no major effects anyways...but it sure did make for some entertaining video!  That and I probably gained 5 lbs of muscle from riding it back with no throttle input.

Going to throw a Falicon rod on it...everything else appears to have survived OK...should have it up and running by Sunday 

[BC]

I forgot the stoopid Kibblewhite springs take a smaller custom stem seal- so I didnt get it together and going until yesterday afternoon.

I also purchased a jet kit...I know gat...but I was mainly after the needle.  Its from JD Jetting (www.jdjetting.com) and several people spoke highly of how the needle made the mid more robust- which is always welcomed for me.

Probably going to hit our practice track on Weds or Thurs. if it isnt monsooning too heavily...

[Pete]

both Ben and I bought JD setups...Dusty has the other needle in his bike, and I think Danny's LTZ has one too

[Ben]

hell yeah, the blue JD needle is worth buying the kit, and the o-rings they give you for the accel pump linkage work great too. Night and day difference between the blue and red needle, use the blue

[BC]

Well shoot...I put the red in per instructions...I also emailed him because the instructions said to run a 170mj...I was at 205...he emailed back and said go to a 195 or so...I misplaced an oring in my AP cover and didnt notice so I took the carb in and out about 6 times fighting the AP cover leaking- couldnt see the forest because of the trees sorta thing....Im taking the blue needle with me and will change it if necessary...Whats pulling that stinking carb out another 43 times at this point!

[Pete]

I have the blue needle in mine as well, I ran the red one when my bike was more of a bolt on setup and it seemed fine.

[Ben]

mine is only bolt-ons, and dannys is only a Z434, and the blue needle is much better in both bikes. I noticed a huge difference in my YFZ, it hit much harder much sooner and wheelies were way easier
