Torquey bikes are fun. I mean if all you do is race then get a high-rev top-end pipe, but if you want to ride your quad around the trails then a mid and low-end torque pipe is the way to go.
Don't think a big bore 2 stroke with a torque pipe can't be fast.

Yeah tru Paulie but after playin with pipes for the yz490 bike im workin on,i learned a lot especially about header length.Mine has all kinds of torque but its not fast.Maybe im missing the top end over rev of a 250...

Well I can't say I wouldn't like a lil more over-rev myself.
For my YZ400 I don't think I ever get it to rev out like a 250- drag pipe or not.
There's just too much size & weight swingin around in there.

That maybe true but those dirt track guys would get the air cooled yzs to scream...once they put the shifter on the right side..

Got a whole section dedicated to vibration over at TRX500r.org/forums shameless plug I know, but it definitly fits in this thread.

my uncle has a cr500 and he said hes heard of filling the handlebars with silicone. it wont stop the motor from vibrating but if your trying to help your hands this is good i hear

I heard of putting weight in the bars as well.I guess they used to make a bar snake back in the day for bikes with bad vibes..
