63 hr spark plug ( :blush: ) looked fine, a bit dark but I have fattened it up, and didn't pull it after a WOT shutdown.
Are you aware that plug chops can only really give accurate information if they are brand new plugs and you run them at predetermined throttle openings only.

Doesn't hurt to look at a plug, but if it's got 65hrs on it, or even a few, the information provided is not detailed like actual plug chops.

There's been complaints your exhaust burns people's eyes =) Now I don't have to listen to you b**** about the smoke.. =)

109 hrs, running great, and burning my pinger buddies eyes evidently, which is the pot calling the kettle black.

As great as that 450 will be i'm hoping for a 300 2 stroke to come from big blue in the next few years. Or even a GYTR bolt kit on for the new YZ woods bike.

Nope, the new model was another big high powered side by side. The manual transmission is a nice feature though...

Thirtyseven why are you filling your garage with four strokes when this is what you have been waiting for? :cheers:

The 250X is a let down, aside from the "wide ratio" in the 5 speed, the rest is off the shelf parts.
And no stator, no electric start, and no extra fuel, and no 6 speed? Lame-o.
I wanted to add a pinger back to the fleet, but that ain't it.
