This ONLY applies to certian two strokes 1999 and newer. And even with those the laws are shakey.

elsancho,
My 350PV is holding up great. No problems yet. Took me a while to get it dialed in and hope it is perfect for this weekend. As for the LRD or CT kit, the LRD's porting looks to have a larger exhaust port (if I remember correctly). I would like to try an LRD kit to see how much better it is. (e-mail me and I can forward pic's)
I see you live in CA, you may be able to get a good port job out of Allen at CT. Also I have been talking with a guy here in San Diego that has the same CT motor I have and his seems to be quite a bit faster than mine. Maybe I got a MX port and he got a top end port? Who knows. I will know more after Jan 19th about his set up as we are going to meet at the dunes.

I beleieve you cant ride 2 strokes in the summer months, so your in the clear, unless you want to ride in an oven!!! I think its like May-july or August...

if you're stuck on a powervalve motor, you might want to check out LRD's 350..I've seen the portjob differences between the CT and LRD motors, and its quite significant.

Elsancho,
A little off topic here........
What color red is that? Is that powdercoated or painted? Looks like you'll have a nice 250R when you get done. Keep up the good work.
Thanks

its been about 5 years since ive been riding at glamis... recently ive gotten the itch to get back in teh game and have ben working on restoring my '86 trx250r... you can check out my progres here. however someone had informed me of a new law passed that only allows 2-strokes to be ridden through certain dates. is this law only for new 2 strokes or has my bike been "grandfathered" and made exempt from this law... if not can somome please help me out with the dates
thank you

thanks for checkin out the bike Canes, and thanks for the comments.... the color is called " Candy Red Over Chrome".. according to the guy at the powder coating shop they put down a layer of chrome first ( i highly doubt its a triple chrome plate). followed buy the candy red powder coat. the shop i had it done at is " orange county platin" located in orange calif. total cost for all my powder coating needs sans swingarm came to about $250. i word to the wise if you send your frame into ANY powder coating shop: do ALL your own masking of bearing holes bolts and nuts... the shop never seems to do a good job of this... and when you do get your frame back... fo through with a tap and dye and clean up all threads

motor is basically stock except for a few nuts and bolts... a while back(6- 7 years) an uncle of mine via a connection through trinity atv. did some mods . i think he honed out the carb.. and also performed some head work to raise the compression ratio.... i was looking into taking my bike into CT for a 350 powervalve and polish ( hey mike330r... if you read this let me know how yours is holding up) but the other mods to the chassis ran me ove budget a few K.. ( dont ask me how.. i was like a kid in a candy store at Timmyboy Designs:"I'll take one of those.. that.. and oh yes.. dont forget this too....". maybe next year though...... but then again im thinking about saving the $2700 and wait and see if honda comes out with the rumored 450 or 650 trx... but thats a different topic... anyways back to the motor.. as far as resperation goes, im just runnin a KN aitfilter with a CT racing national pipe and silencer... thats about it.... for now...CHA CHING!!!
