Whats the big deal of running a KLX motor and a CRF motor when everyone knows a KLX motor will murder a CRF one? I dont think it would be a weight issue?
Options or opinions???^^^magiksc said:More motor opinions for CRF motors. Plus they can stock one frame that will work 2 ways.
moto234 said:i guess cause with the yx engines you can have a high displacment engine in the frame or you can have a low displacment stocker engine

over all hp doesn't win races
It is all about power to weight!!
yea i feel that with my klx125 build, it's about 185lbs and about 21hp but the added weight makes it feel like a 16hp x4 lol.jjw designs said:actually i have a 2 valve 138cc old superhead engine, that when put into a klx frame will probably do just fine against your 195 +r. There is so much more to a good bike than just displacement.
To answer the original question, i'd say it's about options (as has been mentioned). And many people prefer to use honda style engines for a variety of reasons, one being they're about twenty pounds lighter than a klx110 engine. And never underestimate a snappy revving, small cc engine in a good chassis.
I beg to differ. A good friend of mine has a midsize pro w/ a dohc and rips on it. He prefers it over his perimeter klx.
Amen!!!
Another thing people sometimes forget, weight makes a difference! If your bike is 1hp faster but you're 10lb heavier.... You don't have an iota of advantage in most situations.
