cr500 in a 250r frame

[hilpp99]

I had mine done at crankworks, it was the best thing I have done to it so far. I can still feel it in the handle bars at wot but its not bad. Just cruising around I don't notice it at all.

how much do they charge to balance the crank, and how long does it take them?

I had my 400 crank balanced/trued with a pro-x 490 rod and bearings retrofitted on for $179 shipped.

Looks like I'm joining the 500 crowd. I didn't build this one. But it's something to start with. I have a 330 that I really like but want some more power and don't want to kill the trailabilty of it. I was going to start buliding a 500 but saw this one and took a short cut.

damn that things nice.... Details please....

Here is what I know so far. I don't have it yet.

JP/Lonestar racing chassis built to accept the CR 500
The motor and pipe were built and tuned by FTZ
The carb was also set up and jetted by FTZ to run methanol with the nitrous
They say 110 HP with the nos. I'm from Missouri so they'll have to 'show me'

[drag lt guy]

not to bash your bike man but if that thing was built by FTZ (from my experience with them) you'll be lucky to see 90 HP on nitrous with that thing.

No worries on the bashing.
I don't belive much of anything I read, the 110 HP part. But I will say this about FTZ, I have there pipe on my 330. I've had a few pipes on it and there's is by far the best one. I did the fine tuning on the jetting. But that thing puts down 53 HP. That's from the dyno at Wynoka. Well see what this one does.
