thanks all for your responses, when i did a search of the forum i couldn't find anything being discussed on this subject, it's something i may consider after tinkering with many other things as neo points out, being an older bike which happens to be the first model year and with 9 years of improvements/changes that have been done to the model it's interesting to imagine what i may do in the future to suit my riding. i'd still be interested on more thoughts, engine or otherwise on improvements to the original model. outside of a few cosmetic blemishes this bike is still fresh as it's seen about 12 trials and very little practice time and sat in the garage of it's original owner so there's definitely some potential here. cheers

has anyone bumped up their 2.5 to a 2.9 adding a cylinder/piston etc. i took a look at the parts book (1999/2000) but it's not that clear on separating them and seems to only mention the 2.5 with a part number. any input or thoughts apprciated. btw, i don't believe there was a 2.9 that year so i'd be looking at a later 2.9 year. just looking at upgrading over purchasing something newer. cheers

hi, been lurking for a while, has anyone tried the "pro series" boyesen reed, the part number is #pro112 which is the equivilant to the power reed #665. It a bit more money... I copied below the comparison from the boyesen web page: Q: What advantage do Pro Series Reeds have over Power Reeds? A: Pro Series dual-stage reeds combine a carbon-fiber top reed with a fiberglass bottom reed for unrivaled performance. The Pro Series Reeds are more responsive than our traditional Power Reeds. The carbon-fiber top reed has excellent response characteristics that provide even quicker acceleration, stronger throttle response, and more over-rev than our standard Power Reeds. The fiberglass bottom reed provides stability and longer reed life. PERFORMANCE Pro Series Reeds are designed with the racer and avid enthusiast in mind. They offer you the latest in carbon reed technology with all the advantages of Boyesen
