I am benching it also, since i broke a bearing in crank shaft. In addition to getting a new crank shaft, i figured since the engine is out, i should get the Southbay Dependability kit installed so i dont have anymore problems. Need to save up. I want to race the remaining races of the year, but no quad except for an old 93' blaster i use only for jumping. Anyone in MN or near, want to rent me a quad until the end of October?

How much use is it going to see and for how long? We might have to hammer out a little contract or a deposit. Give me a pm and lets work out the details.

Now that is a good idea Wistech!I bet you could start a business doing that get a 400ex,Yamaha450,raptor motors and rent them to people who are down for repairs keep them stock for reliability.Everyone would be happy.Cool.

I may have a deal on a 03 speed.

I am kinda scared to rent your motor because I plan to RACE it wfo. For at least 8 mx races. That would be a big gamble for us both.
lol

Almost any other part of it I would feel safe to rent but not the motor. That was a cool offer though.Thanks :clap: :usa biggrin.gif
